[GSoC 2021] Calling for Mentors and Projects
Hey Folks! Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program focused on introducing students to open source software development. Students work on a 10-week programming project with an open-source organization during their break from a post-secondary academic program. Fedora has had great participation[0] and we would like to continue to be a mentoring org this year too. We are currently looking for mentors and projects! If you are one who is interested, there are more details in [1] about how to apply as a mentor and how to pitch project ideas. If you have questions, please reach out to me or Vipul Siddharth on emails or IRC.

Proposed Project for GSoC - Unintrusive Synchronized Authorship Web Application
Hi folks, Akashdeep/t0xic0der here. I would love to hear what you think about a project that I am proposing for Fedora's representation in this year's Google Summer of Code. Take a look at the following excerpt which was taken from the proposition I wrote (Check issue https://pagure.io/mentored-projects/issue/85 of mentored-projects for the entire content and the conversation regarding it). - There has been this web application I have been building a functional prototype for, which allows for synchronized authorship of documents in an unintrusive manner. The project is called Syngrafias. - To explain this in a better way, people who have used Google Docs for editing documents collaboratively know how the changes made to the document are actively synchronized to all the collaborators during the time of editing. Syngrafias does that but with a much more distributive approach to it - as here the changes made in the document in the absence of the other user would not be synchronized, thereby seamlessly creating (say) a fork of the same document. ([See the attached image collabnt.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/t0xic0der/syngrafias/master/pictures/collabnt.png)) - The unintrusiveness in the document editing can be better explained if I draw parallelism with Jupyterlab. Just like in Jupyterlab, we have distinctive cells here for editing text. It is a simple mechanism but with much greater functionality as it allows you to selectively share the parts of the document you want collaborators to edit and rearrange the parts of the document by simply using a drag-n-drop operation. I have added in Summernote for WYSIWYG editing for each cell. ([See the attached image opendocs.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/t0xic0der/syngrafias/master/pictures/opendocs.png)) - Of course, there is activity tracking so any change in the document title, cell title or cell content gets logged and activities like cell creation and removal are synchronized across all connected clients. The way I see it, this project can bring about radical positive changes to the way Fedora's project documentation are worked upon collaboratively. Also, if I simply replace Summernote with CodeMirror - this can even be used for collaboratively editing code snippets on-the-go. ([See the attached image activlog.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/t0xic0der/syngrafias/master/pictures/activlog.png)) - With 57 commits as of the time of writing the idea description, the project is only getting started and only the bare functionalities of the project are complete. You can find the repository [here](https://github.com/t0xic0der/syngrafias), the usage instructions [here](https://github.com/t0xic0der/syngrafias/wiki/Usage) and the screenshots [here](https://github.com/t0xic0der/syngrafias/wiki/Screenshots). There are tons that we can expand upon if this ends up becoming a project for GSoC. I would very much love for you folks to try out the project, let know what you think about it and your valuable suggestions for it to become a GSoC project - if it can. I would be obliged. The reason why I wish to propose this (outside) project for Fedora's GSoC representation is because it has the potential to be a project assisting the distro/community (e.g. Bodhi and Mote) by making the process of documentation creation much more efficient and conveniently collaborative (as compared to the Pagure and Antora-bound method that we use right now). Do note that the project (I believe) aims to complement the tried-and-tested systems in place as of now with the features it has (and plans to have). The way I see it - the project I am proposing here can complement to Antora's functioning by cutting down on the mandated build times to generate a preview (as we have a WYSIWYG feature) and deferred collaboration (highly subjective though as active synchronization would mostly benefit only those who are living at the same timezone and decide to work together for the same time). I cannot emphasize enough how beneficial it can be to try out the project prototype to understand how capable the project can be. You can find the [project page](https://github.com/t0xic0der/syngrafias) and the [project wiki](https://github.com/t0xic0der/syngrafias/wiki) links here. (or drop a response expressing willingness for a demonstration and maybe, we can schedule a video meet ;-)) As the proposed project marks a departure from the kinds of project that were used to be proposed for GSoC, it would be vital for me to know what you think about the proposed idea and the likeliness of adoption of the ideas stated in the project. How effective do you think it can be (if it can be selected as a GSoC project) and what can be done to make it better? Thanks in advance. Looking forward to your responses. Yours faithfully, Akashdeep Dhar ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org

GSOC 2020 Introduction - Varlink support to Nmstate
Hi everyone, I am currently a Masters student in Computer Science and I wanted to work on the "varlink support to Nmstate" project as part of GSoC 2020. I have experience with the technologies required for the project, so it seems like a good fit. I had a few queries regarding the project - In the project description, there is a mention of kubernetes-nmstate. Just to clarify is the project to add support for the python nmstate library or the kubernetes one written in Go ? Finally, are there any beginner friendly issues that I could solve to strengthen my application?

GSoC Ideas Time
Our Application for GSoC is ready and we will make the submission deadline tomorrow. Therefore we should start working on ideas. See https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/mentored-projects/gsoc/2018/#mentor-information for details. Text is also below. regards, bex How to Propose a Project If you want to mentor a specific project, think carefully about several things: Do you have enough time to work on this with the student during the entire project. You will be helping someone else when they get stuck. You don’t want to become a blocker because you’re busy. It is harder to find success when you are completely certain of how an idea needs to be implemented; finding a student with the skills and interest to implement a specific solution is a lot harder than finding a student with enough skills to respond to a use case need. Also, students learn more when they help design and guide the project. In other words, provide guidance and direction but let the student do some of the "driving." Where you can have looser ideas, you may be able to find a student who works as a sort-of intern who can implement a solution to a use case you have. In past experiences, students going after a use case are more likely to get somewhere with self-direction and support from you. Who can help you? Try to find a second mentor for the project. If you’re interested in working with a student on a specific project you should post your idea to the Mentored Projects Issue Tracker[1]. Your issue should be tagged GSoC and use the Google Summer of Code template. We strongly encourage you to find a second person to help with mentoring and to solicit feedback on your proposal Can I be a Mentor Without a Project? Yes! You can either: Work with a student who brings an idea to your sub-project. This requires a different level of communication throughout the project, but can be the most rewarding. Be a general mentor. This is a person who works with all students regardless of their project. To become a general mentor please open an issue in the Mentored Projects Issue Tracker[1] offering your help.

Self introduction: David Carlos - Gsoc Student
Hey guys, My name is David Carlos, and I am a GSoC student, working with Fedora. This email is to present myself, and what I pretend to do during the GSoC period. I am a student from University of Brasilia, in Brazil, and in the middle of the year I get my software engineering bachelor degree. I have contributed to some open source projects, and with this experience I realized how a good QA environment can help developing better software. With this in mind Athos and I idealized the kiskadee system [1]. kiskadee will be a tool to help Linux distributions (and other software repositories) to continuously measure the quality of packages source code. The main ideia is to monitor repositories, and when a new package or a new version of an existent package is released, we download the package source code, and run several static analyzers on it. Each monitored distribution will be a kiskadee plugin, that implements an interface that we will define. The result of these analyses, which is parsed using the Fedora Firehose project, will be stored in a relational database (this idea has been discussed a while ago in the devel mailing lists, by the guys in the Static Analysis SIG [2]). With this database several analyses can be made, and by using several static analyzers we want to find heuristics to identify false positives (this is not part of GSoC though). A similar tool exists in the Debian distribution, but it is way dependent on their infrastructure, and one of our objetives is to keep kiskadee simple, and extensible. I am very happy that I was acepted in GSoC to work with Fedora. I have some rpm packing experience, and hope to keep contributing with Fedora after the GSoC period ends.

I'm a longtime Fedora and GNU/Linux user and have always wanted to contribute. I am interested in working on 389's python administration framework for this year's GSoC! I a lot of experience working with GNU/Linux and administering machines. I have some experience programming in Python and thanks to my Java background I know how to make use of Classes, Inheritance, and Modules. I also have a good amount of C experience and writing C for GNU/Linux (or POSIX) systems if that helps as well. I'm very excited about the prospect of working with Fedora and free software and would be happy to take extra time to learn in the area's I am lacking. I've attached my rough draft proposal, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I am doing my Bachelors in Computer Science Engineering from Amrita School of Engineering, Coimbatore, India. I've been using Fedora since Fedora 22 but I've been using Linux distros for around four years now. This is my second attempt for GSoC. Recently I worked on creating an AI-Challenge called Bitjitsu. Other than that I've been working on languages and interpreters. I know a couple of languages and Python is one of them. I have a FAS account. My blog is here (https://vasanthaganeshk.wordpress.com) and all my repos on GitHub are here(https://github.com/vasanthaganeshk).

! GSoC Ideas
Hi All, As you may know we have successfully submitted a Google Summer of Code application this year. While we won't know until 27 February if we are accepted, we still have work to do! https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2017 This page needs some ideas. A good idea includes: - project title - a few sentences about the project - required/recommended skills - mentors Google has specifically contacted us and asked us to add more ideas so they can better gauge our desire to be selected for the program. They are going to review our page again on Friday 17 at 9am PST. If you've been holding back on proposing ideas for students, now is the time to free your mind and get your ideas on the wiki. A note about mentors, they can change later, however, Google wants to see you have more than 2 people willing to be mentors in the program and ideally for each proposal. Thank you for your assistance. Please reply to summer-cod...@lists.fedoraproject.org regards, bex ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

If you want to know more I would advise that you read about dsadm and dsconf on our wiki: http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/design/dsadm-dsconf.html A lot of work has already gone into the project, and can be found in the lib389 repository.

The command line tools are found: https://pagure.io/lib389/blob/master/f/cli https://pagure.io/lib389/blob/master/f/lib389/cli_conf https://pagure.io/lib389/blob/master/f/lib389/tests/cli These work by consuming our LDAP orm system which is implemented here: https://pagure.io/lib389/blob/master/f/lib389/_mapped_object.py And an example of the consumption of this is: https://pagure.io/lib389/blob/master/f/lib389/plugins.py * What would be your assigned task: -- We would be looking for you to setup and deploy your own ldap server, and understand how the plugins work. -- We would then want you to add the components to plugins.py, so that tests and the cli can manipulate those plugins. -- You would be wiring in the plugin management command to cli_conf -- finally, and most importantly, the cli and plugins.py code is fully unit tested.

Re: [GSoC'15] Btrfs content-based-storage mode
I have submitted a proposal to the Fedora Project. Please find it here: http://harshadjs.github.io/2015/03/27/Fedora-BTRFS-Content-Storage-Mode/ I hope that a mentor finds me and we could kick-start the development of content-based-storage mode for BTRFS, this summer!

5tFTW: Fedora conferences this summer, writing release notes, brainstorming a better onramp, and a GSOC reminder (2015-03-25)
Fedora is a big project, and it’s hard to keep up with everything. This series highlights interesting happenings in five different areas every week. It isn’t comprehensive news coverage — just quick summaries with links to each. Here are the five things for March 25th, 2015: Join us at Flock (and book your hotel now) -- Every year, we have a big planning and developers’ conference, Flock. It alternates between Europe and North America, and this time around will be at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, from August 12th to 15th. Flock organizers just announced that hotel reservations are open, as are talk submission. If you’re an active contributor or are interested in becoming one, start planning your trip now! * http://flocktofedora.org/ * http://fedoramagazine.org/flock-2015-rochester-institute-of-technology/ * http://flocktofedora.net/location/hotels/ * http://flocktofedora.net/submit-a-talk/ Or, come to FUDCon in Pune, India - In addition to Flock, we also hold annual gatherings in the Asia/Pacific (APAC) and Latin America (LATAM) regions. These are FUDCons — Fedora User and Developer Conferences. This year’s APAC FUDCon will be held in Pune, India from June 26th to 28th. Talk submissions for this conference are closed and the selection committee working on choosing the best from over 140 submissions. There will also be a BarCamp-style track, where sessions will be chosen by attendees at the conference. A limited amount of money is available for travel subsidies. See the FUDCon planning wiki for details. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Bid_for_Pune_2015 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp * https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/wiki/FundingRequest Help with the F22 release notes --- Fedora 22 is almost at the beta stage, with the final release slated for May. That means it’s time to start writing the release notes, and Fedora Documentation Project Lead Pete Travis put out a call for volunteers on the Fedora Join List. As Pete notes, this is a great, low-barrier way to get involved in Fedora — you don’t need a lot of prior knowledge, just a little bit of interest in some piece of software we include. * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-join/2015-March/000323.html A more friendly ‘net presence for Fedora This morning, Máirín Duffy led a brainstorming session on the topic of enabling new contributors, with the eventual goal of developing a modern Web interface to all aspects of the project for contributors, both new and already deeply involved. Mo wrote a great summary blog post afterward, and I highly recommend reading it if you’re interested in bringing more contributors to Fedora — or just improving your own workflows and interactions. * http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2015/03/25/summary-of-enabling-new-contributors-brainstorm-session/ Google Summer of Code - And finally, a reminder that Fedora is participating in the Google Summer of Code. The application deadline is March 27 at 19:00 UTC; please check out Fedora’s GSOC 2015 page if you’re interested in being involved. * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSOC_2015 -- Matthew Millermat...@mattdm.org http://mattdm.org/ Fedora Project Leader mat...@fedoraproject.org http://fedoraproject.org/ -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
[GSoC'15] Btrfs content-based-storage mode
Hello all, I am a CS graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University, and past contributor to the Fedora Project via Google Summer of Code 2011.

Regarding GSoC project - AskFedora UX/UI Functionality Overhaul
Hello, I'm Anuradha Welivita from University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. I am very much into UX/UI related stuff and hence really look forward in contributing towards this project. While searching for a UX/UI related project for me to contribute in GSoC 2015, I came intact with the project idea AskFedora UX/UI Functionality Overhaul. By looking at the mock ups provided I was more than happy to commit myself in developing the design idea for Ask Fedora. But I am quite new to FOSS development and Fedora. I have created my FAS User account and I am interested in joining the Design Team of Fedora as well. An Openshift instance has been set up for this. As a 1st step I cloned the source for testing from ( https://github.com/fedoradesign/askbot-test). I also installed the OpenShift rhc Client Tools and learned to create a new Python web project using that. In the source for testing in Git, it says After pulling this repository a few steps must be taken so the database is migrated and static files are generated. I need to know what are these steps so that I can start being familiarized with the code and modify it. Thank you Anuradha Welivita -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

By looking at the mock ups provided I was more than happy to commit myself in developing the design idea for Ask Fedora. All the best for GSoC. Please make yourself familiar with the process and contact mentors. I would be there to help if needed as well. In the source for testing in Git, it says After pulling this repository a few steps must be taken so the database is migrated and static files are generated. I need to know what are these steps so that I can start being familiarized with the code and modify it. As far as I remember, after setting up everything, I used the command line management option of askbot to do some more setup in the openshift instance. First, ssh to your instance. Then, $ cd app-root/repo/wsgi/askbot_devel/ $ python manage.py syncdb $ python manage.py collectstatic Hopefully everything works after this. If not, ping me back, I will see what I am missing here. To let you (and others) know more, we are planning a overhaul of the UI - a lot of UI will be written from scratch. Initial WIP designs of main page (mobile version) are at : http://sarupbanskota.github.io/askfedora-frontend/ and http://tuxology.github.io/askfedora-frontend/ (usually both are in sync but sometimes not). If you open this is a mobile (or scale your browser down smaller), you would see how its intended to look. We will make this repo public *very soon* as we reach a somewhat showable state :) Tentative plan : http://suchakra.in/random/redesign-plan.txt and http://suchakra.in/random/redesign-plan.pdf Once again, best of luck for GSoC. Keep on playing with askbot and getting yourself familiarized with the setup in the meantime. Please speak to the mentors as well. -- Suchakra -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
Re: Regarding GSoC project - AskFedora UX/UI Functionality Overhaul
Anuradha,
Welcome to the mailing list /possibly (hopefully ) to the GSoC team and
glad to see you are taking aggressive first steps to contributing to the
project. Best folks to ask would be the mentors for that particular
project which are:
Kushal Das
Sarup Banskota sarupbansk...@fedoraproject.org
Also feel free to join the #fedora-admin channel on the freenode irc server
(you can reach Kushal most times in #fedora-ambassadors)

There are several ways that we could go about implementing disposable clients. Buildbot already has some support for ephemeral slaves using OpenStack but I've not spent any time with it yet so I can't speak to how well it would work for our needs. The only potential problem I see with openstack is that I'm not sure we can do graphical testing with openstack instances (ie, direct access to the VNC interface or through libvirt). We'd have to investigate that to be sure, though. So, two different systems (i.e. two different databases) displayed in a single web frontend, right? I guess it makes sense.

Josef says that he recommend picking a project for which we don't need to spend weeks to introduce and explain to the student the whole project, our needs, etc. Something that is simple to explain, and can be implemented without being blocked on us. Yeah, that's one of my concerns - the time that at least one of us would need to invest. I concur with Josef's suggestion of something that doesn't require too much background but I also think that having multiple mentors and involved folks is also important so it's not just 1 person interacting with a student. It sounds like the results middleware project, the graphical installation project, the gnome-continuous project and _maybe_ the disposable client project are the best candidates. Any thoughts on the value for those? I don't know much about gnome-continuous, but the rest of the projects you mentioned really seems to be the best picks. Results middleware is probably closest to Josef, graphical testing is closest to me and disposable clients is closest to you. When it comes to importance, disposable clients have probably the highest priority, then results middleware, and then comes the rest. But that's just my guesses. I think that gnome-continuous would be a good way to start getting some graphical testing done without needing disposable clients but I'm not clear on how much setup, integration and hw overhead there would be for the support infrastructure (rpm-ostree, at least AFAIK). I think that either disposable clients or the results middleware are going to be the highest priorities of the projects I listed. They're both things that have been (at least indirectly) asked for several times over the last couple years and I think that getting them implemented would help restore some confidence that we're going in the right direction. At this point, there are 3 or so days left in the application process and since we all seem to be on the fence on this a bit, I'm thinking it would be wise to skip GSoC for this year. I might put the ideas up on the wiki page tomorrow in case someone sees them and gets inspired for next year, though.

GSoC 2014 - My idea WME
Hi, My name is Domen Ipavec and I have an application idea, that I would like to implement in this year's GSoC. It is an advanced wallpaper manager, that I call Wallpaper Manager Extreme. I have written a basic proposal here: http://z-v.si/proposal-wme-gsoc2014.txt Would your organization consider accepting this project? Would anyone consider being a mentor for this project? Any suggestions for improvements of projects/proposal? I am looking forward to your feedback.

IIRC, they were using opencv the last time I looked at openqa. The image checksumming stuff is worse than the bits I had concerns about, to be honest :) What I mean by keyboard interactions is that you can't use the mouse - it was a strict script of keyboard actions. The runner made keypresses as scripted and nothing more. One major drawback is that they still don't support task distribution (to test clients). Everything is executed on a single machine. But they say they are able to run lots of test cases every single day, and we intend to run just a fraction of it, so performance-wise it shouldn't be a problem. We'd still need to evaluate the system to see if it can do in reality what we need it to do, what the level of integration work will be and what kind of patches we'd need to write and submit. I'm really not itching to write our own system here but at the same time, I'm also not thrilled about the idea of jumping into a system we have little to no control over just because it looks like it'd save us time in the short term.

Gsoc idea feedback and suggestions.
Hey, This is Vidun. I would like to get involved in the Google Summer Of Code program with Fedora. I have an idea in mind which I would like to suggest and probably work on. The idea description as of now is too vague but I hope it drives my point. I'm looking for suggestions and feedback from the community so that I know it this kind of project fits into the scope of Fedora GSOC. The idea initially came up as a difficulty I faced when handling RTC(real time communication) for web project to handle and push notifications, alerts, messages etc. As from a lazy view point this can be easily accomplished with polling but that does not make it real time and also RTC with polling is at the expense of the client runner. There are several third party business's like Pusher that solve this problem by using their server for RTC but developers face the problem of privacy when it comes to sensitive data and they set a cap for the number of messages that can be pushed for a certain paid plan. As it can be clearly seen that using this model is both expensive and error prone as it is not in the control of the developers, so if the main server is down it would result in unexpected behaviors in applications. Some of the problems that developers face when implementing their own RTC message pushing. 1. Most of the hosting companies do not support web-sockets. This is troublesome for established companies to migrate host to support RTC. 2. Privacy issues. 3. Additional work load for developers. Developing web-socket apps is not easy. Successful implementation would solve the following problems. 1. Security for messages. 2. Developers can bootstrap this project and concentrate on the core application. 3. Ability to alter working to suit the particular Application model. I'm waiting for a green flag so that I can work on the detailed draft for the application during my week end.

I have contacted with Mr Walker before, he hasn't reply yet. As I'm now writing my proposal, I have some questions about this project. Would you kindly help me solving my questions? Thanks very much! My questions is as follows: (1) As I understand it, the project is to write a storage translator for GlusterFS, so that GlusterFS can use Cassandra as its backend storage. One of the benefits is that legacy applications which are incompatible with NoSQL can now store key-value pairs into Cassandra indirectly. Am I right? (2) Since the users will only store key-value pairs as a file into our system, they may not use directory, file attribute and extended file attribute, do we need to provide fops to support these features? If we do, then as for the directory, I find it not very difficult to support it, since directory can map to the super column and column family in Cassandra. That's all my questions. Thanks for your time! I'm still designing and writing my proposal, I will post to your all as soon as I finish. Best regards, Peidong -- Forwarded message -- From: Jilin Xpd jilin...@gmail.com Date: 2013/4/22 Subject: [GSoC] Implement a Cassandra/NoSQL Connector or Translator for GlusterFS To: johnm...@redhat.com Hi, Mr Walker, I'm Peidong Xie, a third year master student from Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Sorry to communicate with you so late, I want to express my interest in the idea *Implement a Cassandra/NoSQL Connector or Translator for GlusterFS* . I have read the documents in the GlusterFS website, from where I got the knowledge of GlusterFS architecture and the way of writing translators. Also, I roughly read the code of posix translator and bdb translator, and figured out the skeleton of a storage translator. I noticed that GlusterFS had bdb as one of its storage backends, but it's obsoleted. To implement a Cassandra translator for Glusterfs, I think the bdb translator is a good reference. Cassandra doesn't provide native interface for C, there is a C++ client ( libQtCassandra) which involves 3rd party libraries, so I think it's better to use raw Thrift API in Glusterfs. I have participated in some projects, most of my work is related with file system: (1) In 2011, I together with another student, developed a shared fs based on FUSE, it's used to store libvirt checkpoint file and image file, then multiple VMs could read/write a checkpoint or image simultaneously. The key idea is parting the whole file into small blocks and cache them in memory, so that VMs could share the file blocks. COW is used to make sure a VM's write won't influence others. (2) During last year's GSoC, I made the smbfs(CIFS client) in illumossupport mmap. Firstly, I implemented mmap with block i/o, the main work it to implement the VFS interfaces, such as smbfs_mmap, smbfs_getpage, smbfsputpage. Secondly, I add page cache support to file i/o, mainly modified smbfs_read, smbfs_write. With mmap, smbfs could cache file in memory and reduce the i/o request over the wire, so the efficiency of i/o increases. (3) In last year, I spent some time porting ecryptfs-utils to RedFlagLinux, making it work with ecryptfs, to support encrypted home directory

Fwd: Standard ML in Fedora and in GSoC
Hello, An idea found on the summer-coding list, please forward if you have any idea, comment. Thanks for the support ! extract Dear All, Buddhike Kurera suggested me to write my idea and send it to this mailing list. I am a functional programming advocate and would like to see Standard ML projects in Fedora. Both a better infrastructure for the language and actual projects that are implemented in SML. For a short introduction why SML would be useful, check my blog entry: http://www.buday-rd.com/on-standard-ml I would add the following: as far as I know, daemons are written in Python nowadays in Fedora, with a possible rewriting in C if speed and memory footprint is critical. SML could do both, as the sml/nj and the polyml compiler has an interactive loop like Python for creative programming, but the mlton whole-program optimizing compiler generates executables with speed comparable to C object files. It has a mathematical definition so it is easier to argument about a program than in Python or C. The first step could be proper packaging for various architectures and platforms, and cross-compilation for these. mlton, polyml and mosml has packaging but I did not find packaging for sml/nj. The next step could be choosing a daemon task to write from scratch or an existing one to rewrite. I would appreciate your comments and questions on this. - Gergely /extract -- Regards, Buddhike Chandradeepa Kurera(bckurera) Fedora Ambassador - APAC region Event Liaison - Design Team Email: bckur...@fedoraproject.org | IRC: bckurera -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

So whenever the user connects to a previously connected network all these settings are automatically loaded. Thus making networking much more user friendly.

Then with a mentor you can add it to the list. AFAIK, you are a Fedora contributor[1], but adding student as a contact make some confusion I suppose. Therefore the best thing is share your idea on the list and then find a mentor. Therefore please share your idea on the list so that we can get some thoughts of other Fedorians as well.

In the past there have been interested candidates/students who put up the ideas on the Talk: or, even the Main list with a note looking for a mentor and thereafter discussed the idea over the lists.

Seeking for a potential GSoC mentor for packaging related project
hi, I am willing to participate at GSoC 2012 as a student and I have proposed a project to sugar labs [1] to build a automated rpm generating system. I named the project autorpmgen [2] which is basically a system to automatically build rpms from the sugar activities and keep them in a separate repo so that anyone with a rpm based distro can add the repo and use the packages. So I'm looking for a mentor who is familiar with packaging. Meanwhile any comments on the proposal are mostly welcome.

The goal wasn't quite the same, but you might want to look at it for ideas. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Education_Spin What you described on your description page wasn't is more than just a spin. You would also need to build a comps group for each age group you wanted to be selected at install time. Also note that being able to install a subset of packages at installation time precludes doing a live spin as those can only install everything. You'll probably what to look at information on the spins process on the Spins SIG page. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Spins In case you either don't want to or the Spins SIG does not certify your spin as an official spin, you might look into do =ing a remix. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Remix -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
GSoC '11 [Wubi for Fedora] -Mentor Needed
Hello Everyone!, I am a Junior Undergraduate at BIT Mesra, one of the premier institutes in the field of Engineering and Sciences in India, pursuing Computer Science Engineering. I am looking forward for a challenging project as a part of GSOC '11 under Fedora Project during summers on the idea mentioned on the ideas page of Fedora: *Wubi like application for fedora I am looking forward towards Fedora Community so that I can find someone who is willing to mentor this project. I would like to discuss more about the details of the above project so that I can contribute to the Fedora as well as OSS Community. I would like to mention that I have strong foundations in algorithm intensive programming and have advanced foundations in C/C++ too. Also, I am well versed in working of Ubuntu/Redhat/Fedora based OS. I am fully aware of the responsibilities and requirements for this position. To consolidate my knowledge in the fields of interest, I have acquired conceptual knowledge in the fields of algorithms and linux have done few basic projects in these fields too. I would like to add that being regular user of Fedora OS, I am really interested in contributing to the developement of the same. If any further information is required, I would be glad to furnish the same. ---Regards, Sitesh Shrivastava Junior Undergraduate, BIT Mesra Phone: +91-9470521313 E-Mail: siteshshrivast...@gmail.com Home-Page: https://sites.google.com/site/siteshshrivastava -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: [Yum-devel] [GSoC] Avahi repositories for yum

In the spirit of dividing the project into separate pieces, I suggest the final deliverables include: Just as an FYI to everybody, this is the original idea as posted: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2011#Avahi_yum_repositories ...this is notably different from previous POC avahi ideas, the idea of both was more that avahi could be used to share a sub-set of a repo. that had already been downloaded. The main RFEs seem to be: 1. Only required change on client is installing a plugin. 2. Plugin will use avahi to find mirrors for repos, and add those URLs to the mirrorlist. 3. Plugin will include proper NFS support, which means if the URL is nfs:/blah ... the plugin will make sure that NFS location is mounted somewhere, and then pass the file:/ URLs to yum. 4. Tool for servers to advertise that they have a mirror of repo. XYZ. 5. Get plugin installed for anaconda environment. 1) a script to help repositories that reside on nfs or http servers to advertise their presence. Does this mean we shall add a new service type, say _yum._tcp, to zeroconf? I don't think you can be that generic, with this proposal. As it's all about mirroring specific repos. So you need to be able to keep the avahi advertised mirrors for fedora and updates away from each other. The other problem is how you identify the repos. ... the obvious answer would be to use the Repo id's ... except that doesn't work for Anaconda, AIUI ... and isn't 100% for other usecases I bet Roland is thinking about. The way my attempt at avahi worked was to go super generic and have a CAS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-addressable_storage), and then whenever yum would want to download something it'd ask any of the avahi providers if they had it (over simple http/ftp/file/whatever). This solves all the repo. identification problems, because you don't care ... if they have the bits, you get them locally. Roland might even be happy(ier) here with some work on MirrorManager so that you can easily create private mirrors, using a command line tool (although that would remove yum and avahi, so is a very different proposal). 2) a plugin that, once enabled, automatically discovers published yum services and adds it to the pool. Kind of, you'd need to get two pieces of information: 1. What is the repo. 2. What is the mirror URL. ...and then lookup the repo. object given #1 and add the mirror URL #2 to it. 3) modification to anaconda to incorporate automatic yum repo detection. This should be the fairly simple case of getting the anaconda guys to include the plugin (assuming you can can make it work in the anaconda environment). -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Perhaps that announcing would really help. - discovering external far away repos would be nice (esp for europeans that don't have software patents and could use mp3, ecc, based package repos) - with DNSSEC, one could publish the GPG key for a repo in the DNS as a trust anchor to use. I am not sure if a dnssec validating resolver is available on install, but we are working on making it available on all installs.
