	~~== An open registry for street names and numbers ==~~

	~~==== Brief Explanation ====~~
	The aim of this project is to develop the software for the creation of an open registry of street names and numbers for all settlements in Greece (more than 13,000 settlements, more than 700 cities). The registry will contain the official street names and their numbers along with their geolocation information. The project must develop tools that allow public administration to maintain and update the registry for any changes, and anyone interested to search and browse the registry information.
	The developed registry can be the backend for several applications that relate to land usage, building blocks, and land segmentation, e.g. to administrative districts or regions of responsibility. For these reasons, it is important that the registry adopts widely used conversions and standardizations for open geo-data.
	~~The adoption of the naming conversions used by Open Street Map is a step towards this direction. It is also important to allow data import and export in widely used formats such as XML and osm.~~
	~~The project will start with the definition of the conceptual data model that will store the data and will continue with the services that will allow data collection and data update.~~

	~~== Development of a personal secure vault for digital items==~~

	~~==== Brief Explanation ====~~
	This project aims in developing a secure infrastructure where users can deposit personal information and/or documents. They can also receive information of personal interest to them (e.g. documents, certificates, and personal information) from their interaction with organizations.
	~~==== Expected Results ====~~
	It is important for the project to support the periodical updates of the information in the vault, by accessing predefined online services. For this purpose, the software running in the vault will use access credentials and all other information necessary to access an online service and apply for more information (e.g. submit an application for a certificate that expires every two months).
	If the information or document that comes as an output from the remote service is automatically available, then it will be stored in the vault or updated in the vault, along with its future update information. If the information will be made available at a later time, the vault must be able to receive notifications that will trigger an information update that will request the output again when it is ready. This will fully implement a pull-only strategy from the vault side, which will only access remote services and APIs when necessary, or when triggered.

	== ~~Preservation of flash~~-based ~~Greek~~ educational ~~applications~~ ==		== Aggregator for web-based educational material ==

	==== Brief Explanation ====		==== Brief Explanation ====
	~~Many Greek educational applications were developed in the past using the Flash technology. Some of them can be operated online in http~~://ts.~~sch~~.gr~~/software~~. ~~Many Greek schools use~~ and ~~need them~~.		[https://photodentro.edu.gr Photodentro] is the official repository of K12 educational material for Greece. It contains more than 15,000 learning objects or applications which are implemented in HTML, Adobe Flash, Java or other technologies, and it's used by thousands of students and teachers. Unfortunately, it has the following limitations:

	~~Unfortunately~~, Flash is ~~being deprecated~~ , ~~and those applications will no longer~~ be ~~runnable~~. ~~The goal of this project is:~~		* Flash based applications (2,760) are [http://photodentro.edu.gr/lor/faq no longer viewable] since Adobe deprecated Flash at the end of 2020.
			* Applications can't be operated offline, for example when Internet connectivity is an issue.
			* There's no way for users to create their own collections, which would ease navigation.
			* Finally, teachers should be able to expose their offline collections on the school LAN so that students would use them via any browser.

	* To package these ~~applications in a cross-platform format like npm~~,		An external application should be developed that would address these four limitations, hugely benefiting K12 education and possibly many others.
	* To allow teachers and ~~students to select which ones they want to ins- tall,~~
	* After package installation, on "postinst", to create an index page with the available packages,
	* So that this page can be viewed offline with palemoon, a browser that aims to keep running flash even after 2020.

	==== Expected Results ====		==== Expected Results ====
	The ~~result will~~ be ~~all~~ the ~~flash~~ applications ~~packaged in npm or~~ similar ~~format~~ (~~many GB~~), and the ~~packager/index generator/launcher code base~~.
			* Documentation for installing the aggregator in Windows and Debian or Ubuntu Linux along with its dependencies: (probably) the Python language and the [https://www.palemoon.org/ Palemoon browser] for viewing Flash applications.
			* The aggregator should start a web server at http://localhost:8080 on demand.
			* LAN users would connect there and be able to browse the local collection of web applications, similar to https://ts.sch.gr/software.
			* The local user (e.g. the teachers) would in addition see an administration page, from where they'd be able to add or remove applications.

			==Font Quality Improvement Project for Greek glyphs in Open Source Fonts==
			====Brief Explanation====
			Many of the Open Source fonts (e.g., available at <nowiki>https://fonts.google.com</nowiki>), include glyphs for Greek language support. Some of these fonts are of poor quality and would benefit from a quality check and design improvements. This QA could vary from a simple character set report and design quality to the font's meta-data, metrics, OT features etc.

			The aim of this project is to improve the quality of these fonts and automate the process of QA specifically to the Greek character set. This automation could be incorporated into the FontBakery tool. The exact set of fonts to be completed will be determined in discussions between the student and the mentor(s).

			==== Expected Results ====
			Reports on the quality of a number of Open Source fonts containing Greek characters.
			====Knowledge Prerequisites====
			Python (for FontBakery test framework) or other environment, font technologies, type design. Please note that this is a special project, where coding skills, in the traditional sense, might not be enough.

			== Creation of a multi user audio first annotation tool ==

			==== Brief Explanation ====
			The annotation tools exist to empower anyone, even those without a data science or engineering background, to build the next generation of powerful, useful and impactful Artificial Intelligence applications by providing tooling and standards for the creation, collaboration, labeling and formatting of datasets.

			While there is a variety of open source tools available for labelling datasets for different types, including text, images and audio, most of them lack the multi user workflows that enable more than one annotators to work on the process at the same time, and also produce more accurate results by providing consensus strategies and options to handle conflicts amongst the different annotator's data.

			This proposal aims to fix these problems, aiming at the creation of a modern and intuitive system that will enable multi user annotation for audio primarily, and other metadata types as well. The system should support User accounts, User Queues, Queues management and actions as assign data on the fly. Options for consensus and conflict management, and output to multiple formats.

			==== Expected Results ====
			An analysis on existing open source tools for labeling data, pros and cons for each.

			Design and implementation of a system that will enable setting annotations on audio types primarily and output results in multiple formats. This should allow the drawing of regions over the audio waveform containing events (eg as BAT, on related repositories)

			Distinction of users (managers, annotators) with different permissions (add data, set categories or tags, set policies)

			More advanced functionality may include setting time schedules, setting consensus policies (majority, minimum ratio), individual annotator's scoring, filtering of results by annotator.

			== Extend deepbots to support stable-baselines and implement gym-style default Reinforcement Learning environments ==

			==== Brief Explanation ====

			Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is increasingly used to train robots to perform complex and delicate tasks, while the development of simulators contributes to the acceleration of research on DRL for robotics. Deepbots is a simple framework which is used as "middleware" between the free and open-source Cyberbotics' Webots (https://cyberbotics.com/) robot simulator and Reinforcement Learning algorithms. Deepbots is a framework which follows the OpenAI gym (https://gym.openai.com/) interface logic in order to achieve an established way of implementing DRL for robotics’ and other scenarios. In this way researchers and students can easily test and benchmark their algorithms on either predefined or novel scenarios. Deepbots can be used as an educational framework for DRL in high-end robotics scenarios while aiming to establish a testbed for researchers. Thus far, deepbots is accompanied by common research scenarios (such as cartpole, mountain car and an obstacle avoidance example) and well established DRL algorithms (such as DDPG (https://arxiv.org/abs/1509.02971) and PPO (https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.06347)). The ultimate goal of deepbots is to provide testbed scenarios for robotics that are easily accessible for researchers in order to demonstrate and promote Machine Intelligence capabilities. Deepbots strives to be a plug-and-play solution that supports a wide range of DRL agents, similarly to gym, harnessing the power of Webots. Stable-baselines is an established repository including DRL algorithm implementations providing a massive potential for benchmarking using deepbots.

			Deepbots was first presented at the international conference on Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations (AIAI) conference in June 2020 (https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-49186-4_6). Additionally, it was presented at FOSSCOMM 2020. According to pepy.tech (https://pepy.tech/project/deepbots) it has more than 5k downloads last year while it has extensively been used as an education tool. Furthermore, deepbots has been used by OpenDR researchers (https://opendr.eu/) in the development of a modular, open and non-proprietary toolkit for core robotic functionalities by harnessing deep learning to provide advanced perception and cognition capabilities. Finally, mentors are constantly into an open discussion with webots developers to improve certain functionalities of the Webots open-source robotic simulator. Manos Kirtas has participated twice in previous GSoCs as a student.

			==== Expected Results ====
			The expected results are three-fold: 1) Integrate stable-baselines into deepbots 2) Create default environments without RL agents, similar to gym 3) Create easy-to-use setup tools for robotic environments

	== Addition of ~~Greek~~ glyphs in Open Source ~~Fonts~~ ==		== Addition of chant glyphs in Open Source chant Font ==

	==== Brief Explanation ====		==== Brief Explanation ====
	~~Many of the Open Source~~ fonts (e.g., available at https://~~fonts.google~~.com), ~~do not include~~ glyphs for ~~Greek letters and are therefore useless for using in a Greek environment~~.		Nowadays we have fonts to write Byzantine music (e.g. available at https://github.com/t-bullock/KA-Arvanitis), but we don’t have yet a font with all glyphs for all the chant notes which belong to the various periods of the evolution of Byzantine music.
			The aim of this project is to improve this situation and add the missing glyphs which we take mainly from manuscripts of the 9th-19th centuries.* Up to date, in Unicode we have only 246 signs. The exact number of new glyphs to be completed will be determined in discussions between the student and the mentors. This is not a typical programming project, but a complex task, requiring skills both in font technologies, paleography of Byzantine music and design. It’ s important that today we have about 200 years since the first printed chant book and 30 years since the development of the first chant font. For the project we will take as a point of departure the font of Gregorios Stathis.
	The aim of this project is to improve this situation and add the missing glyphs in ~~the correct~~ Unicode ~~codepoints~~. The exact ~~set~~ of ~~fonts~~ to be completed will be determined in discussions between the student and the ~~mentor(~~s).		* A second step would be a proposal in Unicode to add codepoints for the new signs.

			== Development of a NodeRED compatible domain-specific language for Home Assistant ==

			==== Brief Explanation ====

			Home automation has become a standard for most houses and is a research and market trend with expected high growth. Among other smart home management solutions, Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/) is an open-source framework that clearly stands out. Home Assistant enables the integration of several commercial as well as custom-developed smart devices.
			Although Home Automation and other similar frameworks include tools for creating simple automation rules, they lack flexibility, i.e. more complex automation rules and flows are hard to create. Thus, advanced programming skills are needed if more sophisticated scenarios are envisaged.
			In this context we propose the development of a domain specific language (DSL) for home-assistant automation (HA-auto); HA-auto will enable citizen developers to easily create flows that manage complex everyday scenarios. To do so, HA-auto will provide integration to the NodeRed low-code platform (https://nodered.org/), this way making home automation flow programming even easier.
