Introduction

A .Net Entity Framework like ORM for nodejs

Description

An implementation of basic entity framework & LINQ functionnalities in typescript

Entity framework makes life easier for .NET developers with the help of the powerful fluent LINQ API. Many nodejs ORM exist out there. Unfortunately none of them offers a completely string-literal-free fluent api. Although this is normal for a .NET dev like me who will desire (and think that is a must) to work in such an environment.

You can have a better idea of what this project is alla about here: https://github.com/bugMaker-237/slim-ef

Relevant Technology

Nodejs & Typeorm, it will be nice to rip off typeorm dependency and communicate directly with the db driver

Introduction

A lite Language Model that can understand our language(Camfranglais)

Description

Goal

The goal of the project is to build an (hopfully train) a language model that can understand Camfranglais so that the model can be used in the future for translations (for example into pure English or pure French).

Process

I don't have the whole process in mind but my idea is the following:

• we will start by finding a way to collect enough text in Camfranglais: for this we can make a web application open to the community where people can participate by entering text in Camfranglais with their translations in French and/or English. Oss already has an application of this style in development that we can use Hier the link to the app
• Then as soon as we have a usable amount of data, we can build to train our models.

Why This project??

• first of all because it can be fun to work on it.
• people can in fact learn a lot about ML when working on such a project.
• and we could at the end have a English/French-Camfranglais translator

Django Builder

Static pages and templates builder for Django

Introduction

Django have many packages that act as CMS, but they are not as good as builders we find on wordpress.

Why ?

Because Django community lacks of a page and templates builder which can compete with the wordpress builders. Having such a tool will significantly improve the part of Django in the websites market. It will also improve productivity for low resources startup and companies.

Description

The project consist in combining two existing project. GrapesJS https://github.com/artf/grapesjs and Django.
Doing this will let people dev or non-dev create static page or templates for dynamic page using a visual tool. The productivity got increased. Please note that GrapesJS allow visual and coding modes at the same time.

On nous a Cut (this name sucks and can be changed to anything you want)

Introduction

On a nous a cut is web application that notifies users of electricity, water or internet outage in their location

Why ?

Cameroonians, are experiencing frequent water, internet and electricity outages. It can be useful for us to know where and why such outages occurred, in order to know where we can find a cyber coffee to work or carry some water for some emergencies.

How it works

Multiple of ways user interacts with the platform:

• The user experience an outage of any kind (electricity, water, internet) goes to the platform and fill in a basic form on which he specifies where he lives and the time when he noticed the outage and the kind of malfunction he is experiencing
• The user experience an outage goes to the platform simply to check if the same thing happened for more people, he can requires to be notified per email or sms if the status of the outage turns green
• The user experienced an outage and update the status of the outage as things evolves, he turns alert green when everything get back to normal

LINKS.CM

Tous vos liens à travers un seul lien 📎. Links.cm est une plateforme qui centralise plusieurs liens afin que les utilisateurs puissent partager un seul lien.

Introduction

De plus en plus de personnes se lancent sur les réseaux sociaux en Afrique. À cet effet, ils se retrouvent à utiliser diverses plateformes (YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Tiktok, Dikalo, ...). Il leur est alors difficile de pouvoir partager à leurs abonnés tous les liens de toutes leurs plateformes.
Ce constat est le même chez les artistes qui détiennent des comptes publics sur plusieurs plateformes (notamment dans la musique, avec les pages d'artistes pour Spotify, Apple Music, etc).
Pour résoudre ce problème, des solutions ont commencé à voir le jour à savoir linktr.ee, linkr.bio et beaucoup d'autres plateformes du style. Seulement, aucune n'a été faite pour les camerounais (les africains en général).

Pourquoi une telle plateforme pour les Camerounais (les africains en général) ?

L'intérêt sur le plan technique

Une telle plateforme est un bon défi technique qui fera intervenir des expériences et des compétences différentes. En effet, en dehors de la gestion du traffic pour garder les liens publics fonctionnel malgré la charge de visite pouvant arriver des utilisateurs, il ya également les différents thèmes visuels à proposer aux utilisateurs et l'ergonomie du site à développer afin qu'il soit facile et simple à utiliser.

L'intérêt sur le plan financier

L'intérêt de développer ce type de plateforme et cibler les camerounais est qu'on comblera le manque qui existe dans la gestion des modes de paiements. En effet les solutions existantes n'acceptent que des paiements par carte bancaire et ce mode de paiement est rare dans notre ecosystème jeune. Donc développer une telle plateforme et ajouter en plus des modes de paiements existants (carte bancaire, paypal) des modes de paiements locaux (Orange Money, MTN Mobile Money) permet à une certaine cible de pouvoir profiter des avantages des services premiums que nous aurons à proposer (qui seraient proches de ce qui est proposé par les autres plateformes).

En somme, une telle plateforme permettrait d'avoir des revenus venant des utilisateurs (influenceurs, créateurs de contenus, artistes) camerounais (grâce au mobile money) mais également des utilisateurs étrangers (grâce aux modes de paiements par Carte bancaire qui sera ajouté)

Have medium page where we can use for OssCameroon blogging.

Introduction

Medium is one of the most popular websites when it comes to blogging (traffic-wise). It provides a good user experience for visitors to navigate through different publications.

Why ?

OSSCameroon has a blogging project and using medium will provide both exposure to the initiative and contributors and ease of publishing to contributors via its friendly user experience.

Description

As of today, Medium seems to have stopped support for subdomains (i.e osscameroon.medium.com). So the option we have left is to create an account on medium and import articles from osscameroon blog to medium, or just post right on osscameroon medium page. The advantage of the latter is that if the contributor has a Medium account, she directly gain credit (exposure to his own page).

According to this page https://www.shoutmeloud.com/republish-blog-post-medium-drive-traffic.html it'll be quite easy to import articles from osscameroon to Medium.

Data-requester (tbc?)

A suite to collect user data from social networks with their consent

Introduction

Data-requester is a tool/self-hosted platform to request social networks' consent to gather their data into datasets.

Why ?

Prior to the GDPR and similar regulations (and even afterwards), datasets have been collected without user consent on online platforms. The advent of Deep Learning and its needs for ever bigger datasets exacerbated the issue.
Social networks are an ideal place to collect data, but this has to be done the right way, with user consent and understanding on how the data is expected to be used.

Description

The goal of the project is to build a series of tool including an easily self-hostable web platform that makes it possible to collect user data with their consent.

Use case

For the generation of a dataset of people with 2-4 faces per person. A particular hashtag on Twitter contains tweets with relevant images that should be collected.
Data-requester should provide:

• A way to download possibly relevant tweets (based on the hashtag here) and their media (images here)
• A way to filter the tweets and images
• A way to deploy a webpage on which the twitter user would give their consent for their data to be made available in the dataset. The webpage should make it possible to collect custom informations (e.g. adding a form).
• A way to contact twitter users to request their consent (e.g. direct message)
• A way to generate the dataset, while taking into consideration people that gave their consent or took it back later

Manifesto pour exposer la vision prise de www.osscameroon.com

Description

Chèr(e) développeur(e),

Nous te remercions de rejoindre l'aventure OSS Cameroon !

Beaucoup de développeurs et de développeuses nous approchent en demandant : "Je suis développeur, j'aimerais trouver un projet sur lequel contribuer pour vous aider." Lorsque nous répondons, lorsque nous pouvons, nous trouvons un projet hébergé sur Github sur lequel la personne peut contribuer.

Le souci que nous avons en général (90 %) c'est que la personne revient en nous disant que la technologie est trop compliquée, ou qu'elle ne connait pas la techno, qu'elle n'a pas envie d'utiliser le langage du projet ...

Du coup le recours que nous proposons est le site internet www.osscameroon.com , qui recense les projets sur Github de tous les développeurs camerounais de l'écosystème. Nous pensons qu'ainsi la personne trouvera plus facilement un projet sur lequel elle pourra contribuer pour avancer.

N'hésite pas si tu n'arrive pas à trouver sur cette longue liste là un projet , à en créer un et à le proposer à la communauté !

La team OSS Cameroon !

PROJECT IDEA

A website where any Cameroonian or foreigner who wants to invest in Cameroon can access all the information online on how, when and where to create a startup.

Introduction

There is already a website called https://yaounde.eregulations.org that guides budding entrepreneurs. But the site is not intuitive enough, not responsive, does not look good, does not belong to our state (I guess) and is not well structured.

Why ?

Because we need to convey a better image, a better structured source of information for all young people and experts who want to make our country great.

Description

I will describe the strategy and some part of the process in the following points:

• establish a graphic charter, mockups and a logo
• choose a cms capable of fulfilling the expectations
• buy a domain name
• make a proof-of-concept (development, deployment etc)
• copy, cross-check and verify the information already available
• test and consolidate the product
• and propose it to the administration.

Introduction

Autorunner is a tool for automatically executing code in any of several different programming languages without any IDE.

Description

Autorunner will work like this :

• The user launches the tool from the command line by specifying the programming language and the text editor he wants to use.

• Then, he accesses to a screen with 2 regions (one for the code editor and one for the outputs . It will be possible to modify the number of regions ).

• Now the user can write the code in the chosen editor .

• The tool will automatically run the code and display the outputs in the appropriate region after saving the file.

Relevant Technology

we will use python , Pyinotify and Pymux

• Pyinotify : is a Python module for monitoring filesystems changes. It will be used to detect any changes in the code to allow automatic execution from updated code.

• Pymux : is a terminal multiplexer, so makes possible to run multiple applications in the same terminal. It wiil be used to split the terminal in several regions(code editor, output regions ...)

A simple AppStore made in Cameroon and for Africa.

Introduction

In order to popularize what has already been done locally in Cameroon and in Africa in general, I think that this idea should consolidate the consumption made in Africa in the world of technology in general and the mobile in particular.

Why ?

It can be very difficult for some Cameroonians in particular to know what has been already done in his country in term of mobile application. That's why it's very important to create a platform that will make it easy for everyone to find them

Description

A simple App Store that will allow Cameroonians in particular and Africans in general to know what has already been done locally in terms of mobile application. This project aims at a consumption made in Africa of everything that is technically more precisely in the mobile field.

Labels

For the moment, it will be a web platform but in the future it could a mobile application too like PlayStore or AppleStore

Yotas

Is OSS's monetisation system, we would like our open source contributors across the organisation to be rewarded for the efforts and energy they put in the platform. Every interaction they have on GitHub will give them a certain amount of yotas they will be able to exchange for goodies in a shop.

Why ?

Contributing to open source requires some efforts, and we would like every single of our contributors to be able to be rewarded for the time and energy they put into helping our community.

Description

This monetisation system is highly inspired by the correction points and wallet point system applied at Ecole 42. The correction points a ecole 42 are points that student earn by correcting other student projects, and loose when they have their projects corrected by other student. A wallet point is one that is earned when a user contribute to the community, wallets are directly exchangeable with goodies like t-shirts with the logo of 42, time in the jacuzzi and other fun rewards.

The yota will be an organisation scoped currency that user will gain by creating issues, reviewing code, having their pull request merged and so on. They will be able to use this well earned money to buy in our shop things like a call with the maintainer of the project, t-shirts, internet connection, time in a coworking space and many other goodies.

Introduction

Salut. Bon je sais que le bot #carparledev existe deja, je me disais ca serait pas mal dans faire un autre mais d'un tout autre genre

Description

En fait je me refere surtout à l'activite de PHPtrends et FlutterTrends sur Twitter gerer par Dormoshi. Ce bot est appriorie un bot pour twitter, retwer et liker à la base , mais en plus de ca, il est intégré un algorithme de tri des activités sur internet liée à PHP ey Flutter. J'entend par là blog, post, acticle, documentation, repos et et etc.. Il a plusieurs fois retwitter mes activité sur Dev.to (Dev.io).

Du coup je pensais que ca serait pas mal de faire evoluer le bot #caparledev (ou un tout nouveau)dans ce sens là, de sorte à augmenté les leads et la visibilé plus du contenu à tout ca.

OSSCameroon bug hunting monthly challenge

Organise a monthly challenge for people to find bugs and ideas for osscameroon's projects

Why ?

Few of our projects have bugs and might benefit from improvements and I was thinking that we could have the community contributing into finding bugs and suggestion improvement idea

Description

The event will take place at the beginning of the month, osscameroon community members will look for bugs and improvements for projects, then submit issues to those projects and will earn yotas for submission that will be considered useful.

PROJECT IDEA

Have a better text editor for the blog project

Introduction

Provide an interface (WordPress?) to allow a publisher to have a better user experience when publishing to osscameroon blog.

Why ?

The current interface only provides a markdown editor, which is not convenient for articles with multimedia (external embedded). It could limit the way publishers provide graphical explanations in their articles.

Description

We could use WordPress for example or any other plugins/frameworks to provide an easy and rich interface for blogging. This article explains how one can reproduce Medium experience on their own WordPress blogging site
https://blog.prototypr.io/how-i-cloned-medium-blog-design-on-my-website-12be12d080b7. Could be a good starting point for brainstorming.

Introduction

Easily store your files online

Description

What is the purpose ?

Currently, there are several platforms available for storing and sharing files such as GDrive, OneDrive, DropBox, WeTransfer, etc. However, these platforms come with paid plans that are not always in line with individual usage. This results in paying for storage space that may not be needed or will never be used. Cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure and GCloud allow for paying for usage, but they are not user-friendly and require a credit card for payment. This can be an issue in Africa, where many individuals and companies do not have access to credit cards or are not willing to pay the associated currency fees.

So what is the solution ?

Storage.cm is an innovative solution for managing and storing your files. It is a user-friendly, easy-to-use SaaS platform that allows you to create and manage your files as you need. The platform utilizes a cloud-based infrastructure, such as AWS, to store all the files, and companies have the option to link their existing bucket to import their data. The platform operates on a pay-per-use model, meaning that you only pay for the storage space you actually use. Payment options include mobile money, bank cards, and more. Additionally, users have the ability to use a custom domain and share folders and files publicly, with the option to protect them with a password for added security.

How to track the project's progress?

Here you have the Notion document (https://djopa.notion.site/Storage-cm-5283e13c1e8d4dd2b27b344b17232ad9) where the project is tracked, so you can know where we are, what we plan to do. You can also see the tasks and offer to work on them if you wish.

Generates JS code from syntatically correct HTML code... following the DOM mapping methods of JS

Introduction

Working on frontend side requires to know html and javascript. Sometimes, we want to generate html elements dynamically using javascript.

Why ?

Sometimes, we forget how to use javascript to generate html. Thus, the goal of this project is helping developers gaining time by producing javascript code as output based on html as input. This project might be very useful for beginners learning html and javascript.

Description

The project is based on jsoup library, a java html parser / Jsoup GitHub Repository . It's all about using nodes to generate javascript.

Labels

Actually, it's just a console program but gradually we will build an API.

Code Battle

Description

We form several teams, we set a project to do. Only rule: do not use our usual tools, we code using another language. For example, I will be forced to use everything except Java on the back and Angular on the front. It will be fun and allow you to understand that a language is only one route among many others.

Introduction

The project will collect and display download ranking of cameroonians apps from Google Play Store or/and App Store

Description

The idea is to be able to collect statistic of Cameroonian app downloading from well known plateforms as Google Play Store and AppStore. That will hekp to better spread the existence of these app within Cameroonian community. It is like a marketing tool indeed

The idea came from this tweet https://twitter.com/chedjoukm/status/1514912339837042690

No idea

But I think there is a great need to get downloaded statistics from Google Play and AppStore, but I do not know how tedious this could be

OSSCameroon games telegram group

A telegram group where we will organise games, quizzes and challenges for the community.

Introduction

We have recently added a quiz bot to the osscameroon telegram group and few people often try to reply to the quizzes, so let's make it happen more often.

Why ?

Because we need to have more fun together, and what's more fun than playing games together 😄 .

Description

I was thinking that we could organise every Friday evening from (6pm Douala time) some gaming nights on which we will kick off a quizz for 1 or 2 hours and the top 5 participants will receive some yotas and badges from the community.

We could also during the chat after each question open a voice chat for people to talk about why they gave a certain answer and open 5 to 15 minutes debates.

In the end this telegram group will be the home for osscameroon games and fun community gathering .

Broken Link Checker

Check the broken links on a website.

Why?

Websites usually have many external links on their pages, and there is no way to know if an external has changed. The author is notified about the issue that happens when a visitor messages him about the broken link. It would be great to have something that does the job for you, and the only thing you have to do is update the link to a valid one. I currently have this issue on my personal blog.

Description

This project aims to build a Web service that takes the URL, browse all the website pages to retrieve hyperlinks, and check if they are broken or not. When the verification is completed, the author will receive an email with all the broken links that need an update. It will be possible to schedule the frequency to check broken links on a website. The service should be easily configurable and deployable.

Labels

This is a console project that will run as a cron job.

PROJECT IDEA

A PII management system to allow users to have faster access to services through automated information sharing between parties involved

A short description here for the project
On one hand, we have a service provider who needs to get certain info from his clients. Let's say a doctor will need to list out the number of patients she can handle per day and eventual patients can book a slot for the day most suitable for them. The booking will(could) involve ID info of the client (and possibly his history of consultations).
Assuming more than one service uses the system, client info could be seamlessly be shared among services by the only approval of the user who has total control over his data and what she decides to share.

Introduction

A small introduction

Why ?

The intend of this project is not only to take all the advantages technology offers(automation, less human error, speed) but progressively democratize the client PII for services purposes.
Let's imagine a place where you don't have to always carry a ton of documents with you and photocopy everything that will be used only once.
A place where you don't have to stand in the queue for hours because you know when exactly you are expected.
A place you don't have to cross the city to provide a document that can safely be done through a safe platform.
The advantages can be countless, all depends on the flexibility of the system and the needs.

We need to keep in mind that this automation WILL NOT totally replace the walking system, because in life there are a lot of unpredictable events, and there is ENEO and orange/mtn/camtel (you named it) as well. But the system should be designed in such a way that it makes the life of those who use it way easier.
