Dear Madam,

I am Nanduni Nimalsiri, a third year undergraduate at Department of
Computer Science and Engineering, University of Moratuwa. I would like to
take part in GSOC Programme 2016 with a WSO2 project.

I have went through the WSO2 GSoC Project Proposals for 2016. I am very
interested on Proposal 15: DevOps Tooling for Microservice Framework for
Java
<https://docs.wso2.com/display/GSoC/Project+Proposals+for+2016#ProjectProposalsfor2016-Proposal15:DevOpsToolingforMicroserviceFrameworkforJava>
and
I suppose that I would be able to contribute to this project. I have been
always looking for a similar project  as I had done some research stuff
related to Kubernetes Open Source Project during my internship at WSO2. I
have some understanding on Docker and Kubernetes stuff. I have created
several blog posts on my findings. [1]

I suppose that my prior experience of working with WSO2 Microservice
Framework for Java (MSF4J) and Kubernetes projects would be helpful for me
to proceed with this project. During my internship, I worked with the
sample '*Petstore*' in MSF4J. During that project, my job was to make that
sample work in Linux environment, because it had been only tested in MacOS
X by that time. I used two approaches for that: Running Kubernetes via
Vagrant and Running Kubernetes locally via Docker. I have created a blog
post on that task. [2]

I am quite familiar with MSF4J and I have some kind of understanding on how
microservices are developed using WSO2 MSF4J. I have not used AWS or
Openstack, but I will try experiencing those technologies as well. I have
good experience in coding in Java which I have also used for most of my
projects at university.

I am not very clear on what deliverables that this project expects.
Regarding that, I have the following problems.
- What kind of a '*tool'* that this project expects
- What does this tool should actually do
- How should this tool connect with MSF4J and Kubernetes/Openstack/AWS

It would be a great help if you can clarify the above doubts.

After going through the references and documentations which have been
mentioned, I am planning to further expand my knowledge on the subject
areas. Can you please tell me how should I proceed with this project. What
tasks should I need to do to get started. Any suggestions are highly
appreciated.
