Google Summer of Code 2007 ended today and I'm really happy I was
accepted. I'm both satisfied with and proud about the work I did during
those three months. I had the opportunity to work on Deskbar-Applet
during the 2.20 cycle. That means that GNOME 2.20 will already feature
all my work what's makes me really proud. Hopefully, the people will
also recognize that the improvements I brought to Deskbar-Applet are
great and hopefully most of the people will adept to the GUI.

The last week I spend the time on fixing several bugs. Navigation has
improved again and I worked hard to get the beagle-live handler into
good shape. In addition, the GUI will now always stay in the center of
the screen, what I think looks better. Bug Buddy support has been added
again, too. What's special about that is that Bug Buddy won't be
launched if the error appeared in a 3rd-party module. That way we can
hopefully limit the amount of bugs in bugzilla that are related to
errors we aren't responsible.
Finally, I want to thank my mentor Raphaël Slinckx[1] for supporting me
all the time and Nickolay Shmyrev for helping me with an incredibly
annoying threading issue back then[2] and last but not least Google for
offering this awesome program. Furthermore, I updated my guide “Writing
new-style modules for Deskbar-Applet”[3] to show you how you can get
actions depending on a file's MIME type easily.
