was fascinated by the experiment mat <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mat\/\">http:\/\/twitter.com\/mat\/<\/a> did, posting his tumblr post address, and the ability to upload images this way, so something similar allowing users to post images in comments to blog posts, could be interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p

gallery,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">This leads to different gallery styles, including work with existing plugins, and their authors, to incorporate their work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">This will need to include making sure the new elements are easily includeable within other themes, easily and efficently.<\/p>\n<p

this year, hence irregularly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">Last year for GSoC I was working with PHP, on the now aborted one bug tracker to rule them all.<\/p>\n<p

style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">Basically its difficult to find projects to match my skills set since GSoC tends to have projects that require code to run continuously not single run code like a website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">I nearly applied for WordPress last year, however I came in a little late and applied during the extended application period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>Myself<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">GSoC is an interesting platform, however it can be difficult to find a project, that fits my skill set, I&#8217;m not a programming in the sense that one builds a programme to run continuously, but more of a coder who builds websites.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">I was the recent winner of the Gary Frisch Bursary for Software in radio, for my Open Source Content Management System, which currently runs the LSRfm.com (Leeds Student Radio) website, (<a href=\"http:\/\/lsrfm.com\/\">http:\/\/LSRfm.com\/<\/a>). This CMS (Carlyon CMS) I will use to form the basis of the web based Client.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">I used to be able to program perl, but of late have not had the chane to practice it so my perl is rusty, I am currently learning Ruby on Rails and Coldfusion as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">My aim in life is to continue working in the MultiPlatform Radio Environment in the UK, which is pretty much what I do at the moment as a Volunteer at LSRfm.com where I am Head of Web Development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Last year I was involved with the Now Aborted, One Bug Tracker to Rule them all Project over at PHP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Work Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/BarryCarlyon.co.uk\/projects\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its my GSoC Application for Wordpress Take2!
