Welcome!

I participated in GSoC2009 and I'm very happy. I'll be working on a project called Working Copy during this summer with my mentor Allan Walker from Great Britain and co-mentor Samuel Moffatt from Australia. The official coding will end on August 25. I hope that I'll have a great time during this summer and also learn something new and useful. The Google experience will help me to get a scholarship for my future education.

Today is the day, when one year ago I started creating my personal website for participating in GSoC 2008. I didn't participate, but I want to summarize some results, which I didn't expect to say the truth :)

Statistics:

• ~200.000 visits
• ~30.000 downloads
• ~10.000 registered users
• $100 AdSense revenue :)

JED Extensions and partners:

• 2 wonderful partners Martin Hajek (Czech Republic) and David Thomas (New Zealand)
  
• 8 extensions
  
• 2 extensions in top rated 100 (Jumi, GTranslate)
  
• 1 extension in most favoured 20 and most rated 50 (Jumi)
  
• GTranslate is on the first place in his category (automatic translations)
  
• Jumi is on the first position in his category (custom content)
  

What I expect this year:

• Participate in GSoC 2009, will propose ideas only for Joomla! Project
  
• Bachelors degree in physics, preparing for masters degree in computer science
• Will keep working on Jumi, new fetures, snippets, tips and tricks, hope it will be selected as a JED Editor's pick
  
• Will join with JosLang, already have spoken with David Thomas and he is agree
  
• Have you heard about Google App Engine based on Python? This year I'll try my Python skills and move my website to App Engine base, already have working core for my site, need to convert the php code :)
  
• End of crisis in the world

Approximately 2 months ago Martin wrote this blog post: How to become a successful developer in less than 5 minutes. Just read it and you will understand what is going on in our beautiful planet Earth. I ask you to leave your comments on JED and here. Just tell me your opinion.

Today we announced new generation Jumi custom code extension.
It is now available for download. I hope that this winter is going to be hot
for me and Martin, because we are not going to give a rest to our fingers,
and will work hard to impress you again and again.

As told Martin "We will put Jumi on the Moon"... are you ready for it?

Martin Hajek aka MarHaj and Edvard Ananyan aka edo888 agreed on 2008-08-08 to join their efforts for developing more powerful and featured Jumi extension for Joomla! It will include my Applications component, which is now deprecated and will continue it's life under brand name Jumi. The Jumi package will be available for download from December 1st. You can read more about new Jumi here.
