Project Proposal for GSoC 2014
by Pallavi Jha
Hi All,
I am Pallavi Kumari Jha. I want to apply for Google Summer of Code 2014. I
have sound Knowledge of C, C++, Python, Cmocka unit testing framework and
Python unit testing framework.
While going through the project lists I came accross "Implementing a
battery of unit tests for SSSD" [0] which is being mentored by Jakub
Jhrozek . I am really interested in this project and would like to take it
as my GSoC 2014 project.
I have recently worked on an open source project named "Unit Test SSSD"[1]
mentored by Jakub Jhrozek, as one of the accepted intern in Outreach
Program for Women December 10,2013 - March 10,2014. Link to some my work
done is here[2]. The project required sound knowledge of C, talloc, tevent
and familiarization with cmocka testing framework. "Implementing a battery
of unit tests for SSSD" sounds promising and more over I feel I have some
background knowledge about it. Thus with mentor's guide and with Fedora's
team support I hope it wont be a problem for me to work on it either.
I have talked about continuing and expanding the topic I have been
developing as part of Fedora's GSoC involvement with my mentor, Jakub.
Please let me know if there a formal procedure to be followed in order to
get this proposal counted under the list of ideas for GSoC 2014. As the
days to application submission are very less, last date is 21st of March
2014, kindly consider the request and please guide me with this.

Unable to get in contact with mentors for web hosting control panel idea
by Francesco Ruvolo
Hi,
I'm Francesco and I'm very interested to take part in this Summer of
Code with Fedora. The idea of a free and open source web hosting control
panel is very interesting to me, since I've started my own web hosting
company an year ago. I currently use CentOS and DirectAdmin and I've
acquired a good knowledge about useful software and about how a web
hosting control panel should behave.
Since it's the third year consecutively that I see this idea for Fedora
GSoC, I've tried to contact both mentors (Luis Bazàn and Eduardo
Echeverrìa) in order to know about the current development stage for
this project. Was it started during previous years? What has been
already achieved?
Unfortunately, none of them have replied to my emails yet. I see on
their pages that they both are present on freenode. Is there any
specific channel where I can try to contact them to talk about this
specific topic? Since it doesn't seem appropriate to me to bother them
(and other users) on channels with different topics.
In the case that they are not available, may I post my application and
hope for someone else to review it?
Thank you very much.
