If its too late, we won't be getting proposals from interns. I spoke with Christian over the proposal and implemented his feedback and assume that this is the final proposal. https://lists.debian.org/debian-ai/2026/02/msg00202.html --- BEGIN PROPOSAL --- Title: "DebNet: Visualising the Bus Factor – Graph Analysis of Debian's Infrastructure" Description: Debian has more than 70.000 packages in the archives, which are all held together by a decentralised community of a few thousand volunteers. DebNet aims to visualise the resilience of the archive by modelling the archive as a graph. You will collaborate with mentors to define specific KPIs (e.g. Bus Factor, Centrality, ...) to evaluate archive health. The goal is to identify critical packages that are abandoned or rely on too few maintainers which need more support. You will build a FastAPI application to provide all analysed data through HTTP endpoints. This project offers the chance to actively shape how we detect single points of failure within the distribution. Confirmed Mentor: Christian Kastner, Arian Ott How to contact the mentor: Christian Kastner <[email protected]>, Arian Ott <[email protected]> Confirmed co-mentors: Debian AI Team <[email protected]> Difficulty Level: hard Project Size: 350h Deliverables of the project: - FastAPI backend (which does all the analytics etc.) Desirable skills: - Foundational knowledge of Graph Theory - Python programming - Basic knowledge of SQL What the intern will learn: - Using Graph theory to analyse the debian archive - Building secure and performant FastAPI applications Application Tasks: - Solve the tasks from this repo: https://salsa.debian.org/Arian-Ott/debnet-application-tasks Related projects: None (maybe UDD?) AI usage Policy: All contributions should be created by the student. --- END PROPOSAL --- Sorry again for all the chaos.. I messed up the timeline a bit. Christian would be representing Debian towards Google for this GSoC. If you need anything from me, just let me know. You can also ping me in the IRC. Thanks again!! Best, -- Arian Ott [email protected]
