RE: Final year project

Arild,

Actually, this is an incredibly useful project, and is probably the single
most important thing that will drive svn adoption in Microsoft-centric
development shops. Currently, (much to the chagrin of experienced
developers), many MS shops standardize on MS Source Safe because it is
bundled with visual studio, and has fairly good IDE integration. It's not
my favorite source control tool - however, most shops are hesitant to
replace it. I'd like to see the .NET IDE 'integration' argument taken care
of, and what you are proposing would (IMHO) be a great stride towards this.

I'm interested in the time frame of the proposed project, as well as the
details of the responsibilities of the company involved.

I'm the Software Engineer / Configuration Manager for Roche Diagnostics in
Roswell, GA (we're a global company, so my role is mirrored at other sites).
If you send me further information, I may be interested in getting involved.

Subject: Final year project

Hi there

I am a student at Oslo University College[1], and I am looking for a project
for my final year. I need to have a project ready by the end of November,
and the project itself starts right after new year and has to be finished by
May.

What I personally would like to do for this project, is to create a set of
.NET bindings for Subversion(maybe in the spirit of #cvslib[2]?) and to
build on those bindings to create a Visual Studio.NET addin for svn. I
believe this is something which could be very useful if you want svn to be
used among Windows developers. There is also the possibility of creating a
plugin for Sharpdevelop[3] based on these bindings.

The issue, though, is that this project needs to be performed for a "real"
company - I cannot just sit down and decide this is what I want to do and do
it. There is a degree of formalism to it requiring that an agreement exists
between a company and the students that carry out the project.

This is the main reason I am posting here. I was hoping that
someone(CollabNet?) would be willing to fill this role. There isn't really
that much responsibility on the employer other than providing a contact
person. There is of course no charge involved, and the result of the project
is the sole property of the employer to do with as he wishes(although I
would personally prefer that it be released under some OS license).

I have been doing C#/.NET for well over a year now, since the release of
Beta 2. Other interests include C++, Java and Python - all of which I
believe myself fairly competent at.

I have been using Subversion for my personal projects since this spring, and
this summer I started a project for myself to modify TortoiseCVS to work
with Subversion. This project, although it was in a usable state and
implemented most of the basic functionality, was put on the backburner when
school started and I found myself having less and less free time.

If someone is interested, you can reply by mail to me directly or follow up
to this list.
