Fedora Packaging Information | Ruby gems
by Sarup Banskota 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hi all, I was asked if the Ruby gems I plan to use are packaged for Fedora. Since the project (Glitter Gallery a.k.a Design Hub) isn't mature as of now, and already uses some gems that aren't already packaged, is that an important problem? I've found this tool[1] <http://www.isitfedoraruby.com/> to be a valuable resource to find out if it is packaged already, but I am not sure what to do if it isn't. And if a gem isn't packaged, is that a lot of trouble? I would love any help :) Thank you, Sarup Banskota [1]- http://www.isitfedoraruby.com/

Student Application Submission - Doubts ?
by Buddhike Kurera 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Hi Students, Please feel free to write to me if there is anything unclear in Application Process. Please follow the steps in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSOC_2013/Student_Application_Process You need to create your application on Fedora Wiki, later you will be given a link to put your project proposal. Do not worry about the project proposal until you submit documents. Once you submit said documents you will get a link to put your proposal in fedora wiki. Please copy the content from the template and paste them to your application and answer them and save the page. That is all about your application. We ask you to mail your CV because we think it is not good to leave private information on the web so that all can see it. But if you are comfortable with it you can make available on the wiki and send us the link. Please read the FAQ for more info. If anything is not clear please do write me directly. Good Luck with Summer Coding !! -- Regards, Buddhike Chandradeepa Kurera (bckurera)

I would love to discuss the details with you ... but for now I would really like to get links to some documentations regarding how the bindings are being implemented, that would really help me to get familiarize with the code base.

by Buddhike Kurera 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Dear Students, In 8 hours time Google will open Student Application submission. Apart from the application that students submit to Google, they need to follow the application process set by The Fedora Project. This year application process is different from the last year adding more requirements that student should fulfill. Please find the GSOC 2013 Application Process for Fedora Project at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSOC_2013#Student.27s_application Feel free to contact me if there is any issue or need a clarification. Wishing you Happy Summer Coding ..... -- Regards, Buddhike Chandradeepa Kurera (bckurera) Email: bckurera(a)fedoraproject.org | IRC: bckurera | User: Bckurera

Incomplete wiki for GSoC 2013
by Axilleas Pipinellis 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

I started working on my application but the wiki seems to be missing some things. Firstly, the page containing the mentors' names [0] doesn't exist at all. Shouldn't this be filled before the application period starts, which is tomorrorw? Then, at the Create your proposal section [1], the instructions are vague and info is missing. Moreover, the Student Application Template [2] says that this isn't the final version. I picked the template from [3][4] to start my application. Comparing last year's page[5] with 2013 [6] there is a clear difference. Perhaps it is still early?
