Outreachy Internship
by Mridu Bhatnagar 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

Hi I am Mridu Bhatnagar. I am interested in the Outreachy Project by Fedora Build a fedmsg plugin for perceval - a data gathering metrics tool. I am a Python enthusiast. I code in Python, help learners with there queries related to Python, wrote one blog for PyBites community which dealt with parsing the live RSS feed. I learned Python in college and since then I am in love with the language. Have previously worked with Experience related to REST API, Python, JSON, Parsing - Twitter REST API and Python. Retrieved the data and stored it in database. To perform sentiment analysis. - Tweaked around with the Worknik API to pull out Word of the day. Automated the task to received word of the day along with it's meaning as daily email. - Parsed live RSS feed of PyBItes website to find top 10 commonly used tags. Presented the result graphically using Plotly. - Made a GET, POST request call to the Flipkart Product API to retrieve details related to a particular product category. Bags and belts. And saved the pulled out data in the datastore. I graduated in 2017. I am looking forward to contribute to the project. Learn about fedmsg, perceval and other relevant skills. Along with this contribute with the existing knowledge I have about the subject. Hope to hear from you soon. Waiting to get my hands dirty and proceed in a way that you suggest. Thanks Mridu

Hi! I'm Berenice and I'm excited to participate for an Outreachy internship on Fedora's project. This is my first time, so I'm a bit anxious! I'm on my 2nd year of Programmer Analyst career at FI-UNLP from Argentina. I've been studying and coding HTML/CSS and Python since last year, and learning a bit of Django. I've red your answer to Aakanksha on the mailing list page, since I have the same question as her. I'd go through the links you provided her and will ask if I have any doubts to start. Also, is there any particular low difficulty issue for begginers? I joined the IRC channel through Riot (not easy but I landed :sonrisa_con_sudor: )... is it better to communicate through that channel than here? Thank you so much! Cheers, Berenice

Trying to figure out IRC? This may help!

Hi all! Sending this to summer-coding and outreachy mailing lists. Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is an important part of communication for any of the summer coding / internship programs Fedora participates in; if you're interested in our projects, you should join our IRC channels. The Fedora Project uses the Freenode IRC network to host our instant messaging channels. Channels are a place for group or team discussion. For example, on Freenode, the Fedora CommOps team is found in #fedora-commops. Not sure how to connect or annoyed that you miss messages when you log out? Check out Riot, an open source messaging client that helps solve this problem. Riot has a web app, desktop client, and mobile clients to help you remain connected even when you're not at the keyboard. https://opensource.com/article/17/5/introducing-riot-IRC In Riot, you can connect to the Fedora CommOps channel with the address #freenode_#fedora-commops:matrix.org. I hope some of you find this helpful. Feel free to ask questions if you are stuck. -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Hi, I'm Aakanksha Jain, currently in my 2nd year B.tech CSE, from Jaipur. I'm interested in working on above project and you were listed as mentor. I've been coding in python and recently I've tried making a mini project using python3, beautifulsoup, urllib, requests.(https://github.com/ accakks/RSGOC-project-chooser) I'm interested to learn more and more about this, and that is the reason this project fascinates me. Can you guide me more on how to make contributions to this project? Thankyou. Regards, Aakanksha Jain
