Hi, Bluez community,
It is a great honor for me to join this year's Google Summer of Code,
specially in the Bluez project.
I am Rafael Fonseca (rfonseca on IRC), a Computer Scientist graduated
from State University of Campinas (Unicamp), Brazil. I'm currently in
the last year of the master degree -- started in 2011 -- in Theory of
Computing on the same university.
My job as a GSoC student is to implement the controller role specified
in the AVRCP 1.3 specification that adds music metadata information
like Artist Name and Track title.
If someone needs to contact me, I am always around #bluez and
#bluez-gsoc and my current timezone is GMT-3.
I am really looking forward to start coding and contributing to the
community as soon as possible!
Best regards

I've just set up a repository in gitorious:
https://gitorious.org/~r4f4rfs/bluez/rfonseca-gsoc.

Ok. I prefer to do a bi-weekly report.

acquainted with BlueZ source tree and git, configure your name and
email properly on ~/.gitconfig, also fell free to setup a clone in

I also would like that you keep this thread updated, could be weekly

Hi,
it's time for reporting my progress in these first two weeks.
I've actually done less than I expected since my second bluetooth
dongle has not arrived yet, making it difficult for me to test and
better understand the AVRCP profile implementation. Meanwhile, I'm
studying the source code and learning how to use some debugging tools,
like dbus-monitor, hcidump and d-feet.
As suggested by Luiz, I will implement the MediaPlayer interface for
devices supporting AVRCP > 1.3 in the media.c file. The first step is
to change our record to 1.3 and check remote's device record.
Any suggestions or comments are welcome!
Best Regards
