[Suhaas Joshi]

Hey guys! My name is Suhaas. I am in the first year of my undergrad. I will
be applying to Fedora Project under GSOC 2021. I am interested in Game SIG,
since the mission aligns with what I personally would love to have in
Fedora. I would like to start contributing.

I am proficient in C++ and linear and tree data structures. I have Fedora
Workstation installed. If it's relevant, I know supervised Machine Learning
and Python in theory (but lack substantial practice in them).

My timezone is Indian Standard Time(IST). I can work upto 14 hours most
weeks. Could someone please guide me on how to proceed?

Thanks
Suhaas

Hi Suhaas! As you can see, the Fedora Games SIG isn't currently highly
active. That sometimes happens as people in different parts of the project
get busy or interests change. Lots of people care about gaming on Fedora,
though, and perhaps coincidentally I just saw such a post on Ask Fedora:

https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/learning-fedora-linux-through-gaming/11702?u...

Perhaps you and Andrew and others who are interested could connect up and
get this moving again?

[Suhaas Joshi]

Hey Matthew! I will help out with the blog posts. It seems like a great
idea. Will let Andrew know to sign me up.
At the same time though, I would also like to have some programming work to
do, so that I get familiar with the codebase, find mentor(s) and apply to
GSOC with a greater chance of making it in. Are there any coding jobs or
bug fixes I can help with? And could you refer me to a potential mentor for
GSOC?

Thanks
Suhaas

I apprecate the eagerness! We're just in the process of gathering projects
and mentors, so we don't have anything yet. You can watch _proposed_
projects as they come in here: https://pagure.io/mentored-projects/issues?tags=GSoC&status=Open

Not all of these will be accepted, though.

[Suhaas Joshi]

Sorry for the late reply. I missed this thread. Thanks for the link! I will
keep an eye on it. In the meantime, I will try helping around with the
"Revive Games SIG" discussion. If any programming work pops up, please let
me know! :)

So, this isn't games related, but here's a thing which might be of interest:
we need search for our docs and do not have a good solution.

Can someone add Commander Genius? It would be a nice addition to the 
Fedora Project and enrich its 2D platform gaming experience. Just 
saying, since there are many playable mods out there similar to the Doom 
gaming culture. Just saying... :-)

Is this game playable with content we can redistribute?

Actually it works the same way as with ScummVM. You have to add the 
games to a directory. If there are no games, you get a menu where you 
can add some.

Within that menu there also exists a downloader which can automatically 
download them for you, but you can easily build CG (cmake 
-DDOWNLOADER=0) without the downloader if that is a problem.
