This week I have been working on Gourciferous, which will become the our GUI of the combination of RIT FOSS Multi-Gource and, of course, Gource itself. Gourciferous will be written entirely in Python and the GUI will be built using Glade. The goal will be to create the most simple way to run Gource and combine GIT logs.
Another feature that Gourciferous is going to bring to the table are Templates that will act as a guide for Gource's command line arguments. Templates will be designed for a variety of project types including: Red Hat branded, Fedora branded, large, small, long, and short. These templates should help the average person get an idea of how to create the best rendering possible for their project. Attached are some mock-ups for what the Red Hat and Fedora branded templates may look like. These are not likely the final products, but I think they give an idea of the styling we are hoping to use.
A lot of our goals have been put on the Gourciferous Github as tickets. These are apt to change, but for now I think that they are a good start for the project. One of the largest stretch goals that I would love to achieve is to contact Andrew Caudwell and talk to him about our goals for Gourciferous, and see if we could possibly get some help in modifying Gource to make our goals more achievable, and contribute to a project that is already being used by a ton of people. I think that Gource may be able to utilize some of our needs, so hopefully it will be beneficial to both projects.
Flock to Fedora voting also ended this week and my proposed talk, "Gource: Telling Stories via Source Code" did quite well! It finished 33rd out of 125 which will hopefully mean that I will be presenting come August. If nothing else I will be attending because our plane tickets and hotels have been booked! This will be my first tech conference of any sort, and I cannot wait to go.
