Picasa2Coppermine Project

Thu Tu Koelling — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 20:15:46 +0000

I just uploaded to Google Code the source code of Picasa2Coppermine. This makes it possible to add a button in Picasa that when clicked will upload selected files into a Coppermine Photo Gallery running version 1.5. CPG 1.5 has not been officially released yet, so it is only available via subversion checkout.

The ability to import [...]

Thu Tu Koelling — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 05:03:41 +0000

For the second year in a row, Google accepted Coppermine to be a mentor organization in Google Summer of Code. Yay!

I am again going to be an organization administrator to coordinate Coppermine’s participation in the program. The student that I mentored last year not only continued to work with Coppermine, but signed up to [...]

Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit

Thu Tu Koelling — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 16:14:42 +0000

Yay! I will be going to Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit where I will get to meet some of the mentors and organization administrators of GSoC. What I look forward to in particular is meeting open source developers from other teams, and around the world. The only bummer is that I am the only [...]

The 2007 edition of Google Summer of Code has come to an close. I’m happy to write that each of the four students who worked with Coppermine Photo Gallery have passed.

Added Image Scroller Based on iTunes

Thu Tu Koelling — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 15:10:33 +0000

rphMedia over at the Coppermine forums has offered a mod called Image Scroller – based on iTunes. It looks so cool that I couldn’t help but implementing it at my Take Thu gallery and my blog (at the bottom of the blog’s homepage).

For those who want an includable version of flow.htm, create a file [...]

GSoC: Two Weeks

Thu Tu Koelling — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 14:42:03 +0000

As organization administrator for Coppermine’s participation in Google’s Summer of Code, I have asked the four students working with our team to provide weekly updates on their progress. After two weeks, things are looking good. I am impressed with the students. As a dev team member and user, I am also excited at the potential [...]

My Photo Feed for Google Photos Screensaver

Thu Tu Koelling — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 07:56:03 +0000

Yesterday, I found out in a Coppermine forum thread called RSS feed of pics for Google Screensaver that Google Photos Screensaver can show photos from a feed. This appealed to me because I currently use a photo screensaver but it is limited to files on the hard drive. By having a feed from my gallery, [...]

Women in Open Source, or Shortage Thereof

Thu Tu Koelling — Sun, 13 May 2007 05:47:18 +0000

Google Summer of Code has released stats on women participation in this year’s GSoC. Only four percent of students in the program are women. Apparently, that’s twice the percentage of female representation in the open source world.

I guess it’s not surprising. In 2004, I was the first woman to be on the dev team [...]

Thu Tu Koelling — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 03:50:06 +0000

This is the night before the deadline for student applications. Remember: the extended deadline is March 26 at 5pm PDT.

I’m going through the applications submitted to Coppermine for Google Summer of Code and have encountered a few server errors. I’ve made comments and evaluations where they didn’t go through. I had to confirm whether [...]

Wii theme for Coppermine Photo Gallery

Thu Tu Koelling — Sat, 03 Feb 2007 22:05:38 +0000

I modified Coppermine’s Classic theme to make it Wii friendly. If you visit my gallery on the wii, it will automatically switch to the wii theme. However, if you just want to check it out on your computer, you can check out the wii theme here.

It’s a work-in-progress as I figure out if there [...]

Coppermine Mod: autoadjust “matte” color according to dominant image color

Thu Tu Koelling — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 19:02:04 +0000

Someone in the Coppermine forums asked if Coppermine could auto-adjust background to image. My initial response was that it couldn’t do it with the core code, and I didn’t know if the image libraries that Coppermine used could do it.

After some research, I found that GD2 could do it, or at least help me [...]

Using New RSS Feed System For Site News

Thu Tu Koelling — Sat, 11 Nov 2006 23:48:15 +0000

Previously, I would write the xml code for site announcements. Then used a free code that would parse the xml feed into html that would display in my gallery, via anycontent.php.

Today, I discovered an application from Coffee Cup called RSS News Flash that would turn the feed from wherever into a News Flash. It [...]
