D Language Development Fund Financing: New Platforms and New Grants ...
When I first announced the creation of an HR fund here on a blog in April , the D Language Development Fund team negotiated the hiring of one or more people to specify the specification and implementation of shared (an attribute of cross-thread interaction). Such work requires very specific skills, which only a few people in the D circle possess. So far, we have not been able to find any of them who have enough time. Meanwhile, the HR Fund is waiting to be used.
A few weeks ago, Ethan Watson wrote a post on D forums about DMD or LDC on mobile . This topic, followed by correspondence with Ethan and several other people, provided an excellent opportunity to start using the HR fund. Given that the LDC already has ARM support, while the DMD does not yet, it is more practical to fund LDC activities than the DMD.
According to Adam Ruppe on the forum, he is currently working under a contract to complete ongoing Android support for LDC. By the end of work on the program, anyone can create an Android application D and distribute it through the Play Store.
The iOS story, unfortunately, has not progressed sufficiently yet. We had an ideal candidate, and we wanted to start work, but, unfortunately, he could not take a break from work, which he needed to complete this task. We asked, looked for someone else with the same skills to take on this task, but found nothing. So now we are turning to society as a whole. But with the changes ...
Back in August, I announced that we had launched the new Bug Bounty system - error grants. The term “error” may have been too strict, so I renamed the menu to Target Grants . And to date, the D Language Development Fund has allocated three new grants: two for solving Bugzilla's problems and one for the aforementioned LDC project.
The D Language Development Fund has allocated $ 3,000 to encourage support for iOS and iPadOS in LDC. We encourage everyone who is interested in this task to be completed to make a donation to increase the amount of remuneration.
This is not an ordinary reward, as the money will be paid only as a result of work under the contract. Thus, money for the purpose comes from the HR fund. Therefore, if you are interested in receiving this award, click on the picture above and read the description. We want to complete this as soon as possible, otherwise we would have waited for the moment when our initial candidate would become available. Therefore, if you have the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to complete the work, do not hesitate to contact us.
The Development Fund provided two Bugzilla awards (from the general fund) for $ 50 each: one at # 18472 (betterC: cannot use the format at compile time) and the other at # 18062 (ddoc: .html files should preserve the package hierarchy) . Follow these links to increase your reward, or visit Bugzilla # 18472 or Bugzilla # 18062 to find out more about the bugs and start fixing them.
I would like to thank the members of the dlang-jp community for drawing our attention to these errors. I recently met three of them in Tokyo with tila Neves. In addition to having a great time in Asakusa , we had a good talk about the D and the Japanese D community. I look forward to the next opportunity to see them.
In the coming weeks we will be able to get more rewards from Bugzilla. I will deal with old #dbugfix issues that are still open. If you encounter a mistake that is especially bothering you, please consider paying a fee for it yourself . You can also post a link to it on Twitter with the #dbugfix hashtag, and we will consider the possibility of paying a bonus to the funds of the Fund.
Visit the Task Bounties page to see if there’s anything else that attracts your attention!
Currently, the HR Fund has funds in the amount of $ 16345. We are going to give part of it to Adam for his work on Android and (hopefully) more to someone who will take on the task with iOS. We are currently considering other options. We still dream of financing large-scale work, so we need to continue to build up this fund.
You can help us by making a direct donation to the HR fund , or by taking advantage of our special campaign for $ 60: donate $ 60 to the HR fund and get a DConf 2019 T-shirt . We still have some t-shirts scattered around the world, so please buy them from someone!
In a previous post, I mentioned AmazonSmile Smile Always for Chrome and Smart Amazon Smile for Firefox Smart Plugins as easy ways to support the D Development Fund. These plugins ensure that every time you visit amazon.com, you will be sent to smile.amazon. com to support your chosen charity. If this is the D Language Development Fund, then we get 0.5% of each purchase you make (sorry, but the D Development Fund is available only as a charity through the .com domain).
You can now also support the D Language Foundation through the Amazon Shopping App for Android. Visit the AmazonSmile Mobile page to learn how to do this.
