Greetings! My name is Dragos, a year 3 student at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Computer Science Faculty. I was a student last year at GSoC for GNOME and worked on a snippets plugin for the Anjuta IDE (my work can be viewed at [1]). It was a very fun experience and I hope I will get the chance to contribute to Umit this summer :). In my last project I worked with GTK+ for the front-end so I got some experience with it and also got to read the GNOME HIG. I could say I am familiar with Python, though I'm not exactly an expert :). My networking theoretical and practical experience consists of: first 4 semesters of CCNA (mostly theoretical), network infrastructure administration (with Cisco IOS and iproute2/iptables on Linux), network services administration and configuration (DNS, Apache, SMTP and a few others) and network programming (basically school projects: implemented DHCP partially based on RFC's, a DNS lookup tool and a file-sharing protocol). I also am pretty enthusiastic about the networking knowledge I will gather if given the possibility to contribute to Umit.
I have talked with Luís Bastião Silva the past days on IRC about the ideas proposed for Umit during GSoC2011 and I finally got the time to work on the architecture of my proposal. The architecture is formed around "4 - Network Inventory - next generation". It's obviously not the final version, but I think it's a good idea to put it here and discuss suggestions and potential flaws in my view so I can adapt it for my final proposal. The document can be viewed at [2]. I would greatly appreciate if you got the time to read it and give me some feedback. At the moment, some parts are left undecided: * What exact measures should the Device Sensor do: I would like to hear your suggestions about what you would think would be useful here. * How exactly the UI will be organised: I usually dedicate a lot of time for this and I am very open to feedback when I will do the UI prototyping. * The protocol which will be used for communication between agents. Anyway, the protocol should allow extension if new features should be added. These days I also looked a bit in the Umit Network Scanner source code and worked on a small patch for which I wrote a ticket here [3]. If anyone would have time to review it, I would appreciate it :).
