Hi Michael Meffie, I'm Deepak Jain, currently in my third year of Computer Science studies and someone who’s genuinely excited about Linux system development and contributing to open-source projects.
I’ve recently submitted my proposal for this year’s Google Summer of Code, where I’d love to work on the *GNOME Shell Extension for OpenAFS Client Management* project. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been diving into how GNOME Shell extensions work, exploring the OpenAFS client commands, and thinking about how to make client interaction a lot smoother—especially for users who prefer a more intuitive desktop experience. I believe this project can really help bridge the gap between system-level power and user-friendly design. I’ve already uploaded my proposal on the GSoC website, but I’d really appreciate any feedback, thoughts, or suggestions from the community on how I can align it even better with OpenAFS’s long-term goals. I’m also happy to share a public view link with anyone interested in reviewing it. This is my first time getting involved with OpenAFS, and I’m honestly looking forward to contributing, learning a lot, and becoming an active part of the community. Thanks a ton for reading — and for keeping such an awesome project going! Best, Deepak Jain 📧 deepakjain0...@gmail.com 🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/deepakjain06 💬 IRC/Libera Chat: deepakjain06
