[GSoC 2017] dnf pip plugin - Questions
by Ilias Stamatis
Hello,
I'm interested in participating on this year's GSoC and more specifically with the "dnf pip plugin" idea. I'm Ilias, but in order not to repeat myself I've already written a few things about me here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSOC_2017/Student_Application_Ilias95
Up to this point, I have gone through the python API of dnf, the documentation of pip, and I also took a glance on code of other dnf plugins.
I will very soon start to prepare a potential schedule, but first I would like to ask a few things please:
1. Will the plugin take into consideration requirement specifications on requirement.txt files or it will just ignore them? What should we do when we find a line like "X == 4.0" or "X > 4.1" but there's a different version available in Fedora?
2. What should we do if a package is already installed in the system through pip, but it is also available in Fedora? 1. Ignore it 2. Remove pip version and install the Fedora one. 3. Ask the user. 4. Other ?
3. What should we do if a package is already installed in the system through pip AND it's not available in Fedora?
4. There's this section of "other commands" in the project's description. Will I have to make the decisions for these? Should I just provide proposals in my application? Will we openly discuss it in the lists?
5. Do you believe that this specific project is "big" enough in order to get accepted by Google? I'm not referring to its importance that much (personally I like this idea a lot, and I'm sure it will be useful for a lot of people). I mostly refer about the time needed for its implementation. I mean, do you think it is enough to fill the whole 3-month full-time work period?
I'm very keen on contributing to the Fedora project. I look forward to having a great cooperation with you, whether I finally make it to the program or not.
Thank you very much for your time.
Best regards,
Ilias Stamatis

I tried to build 389 DS on kali linux (
Debian ) but had no luck. I got some errors. I looked into configure script
with some hope but could not make it out. I am attaching the config.log
here. I installed all required libraries ( libdb-dev libkrb5-dev libicu-dev
libsnmp-dev libsasl2-2 libsasl2-dev libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit
libpam0g-dev libpcre2-dev libldap-dev libsvrcore-dev libnss3-dev
libnspr4-dev autoconf automake libtool ant libapache2-mod-nss
libds-admin-serv0 libidm-console-framework-java libjss-java libldap-java
libmozilla-ldap-perl libnetaddr-ip-perl libnss3-tools
libperl4-corelibs-perl libsocket-getaddrinfo-perl ). Please help me
solving these errors. I am now trying to install in fedora.
I made draft proposal here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/17dDMUoHuoOYuVnTSkVbhgKeIE1Go4s0ZEoov4...>.
Please look into this and don't hesitate to comment on any additions or
deletions. I created FAS account with handle sacha23 and yet to get access
to create a wiki page.

Hello
I am a 2nd-year B.Tech Computer Science student at Jamia Hamdard
University, New Delhi. I am also a very active member of CSI (Computer
Society of India, Student Chapter) as well as ISTE (Indian Society for
technical education, student chapter). I get to explore the various field
of technical aspects even including the open source community,
IOT devices and Programming languages.
I have had a strong exposure to various technical aspects even including
the open source community, IOT devices and Programming languages.
I comfortable working with C, C++, Python, JAVA, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap,
Django, Flask, Jupyter Raspberry Pi and Arduino.
On one of the side the projects, I have been trying to implement a
controller for Quadcopter using a raspberry PI. My strong motivation in the
area of system design and good programming skills motivated me to be a part
of Fedora Team.
I went through the ideas page and am interested in following project “*389
Directory Server: developing administrative tools “, “Fedora Atomic:
Support for end-of-life notification” & “Migrate Plinth to Fedora Server” *and
would like to have a feedback from the community on how to can I proceed to
make a strong student application.

[Introduction] Utkarsh Anand
by Utkarsh Anand
Hello everyone!
I am Utkarsh Anand, a second year undergraduate student studying at Indian
Institute of Technology, Kanpur. I have been using fedora since the release
"Fedora 13, Goddard" and I would like to contribute to the project. I am
familiar with many programming languages (C, C++, Python, Javascript etc.
to name a few). Currently I am using Fedora 25 as my primary Linux OS. I
would like to apply for "dnf-pip-plugin" as GSoC 2017 project. I'll be
going through the dnf source code and documentation. Is there anything else
I need to learn?

GSoC FAS Group(s)
by Brian Exelbierd
Hi,
If you received this directly, I am hoping to see a reply from you soon.
If you received this via the ML I encourage you to contribute to the
conversation as well.
I'd like to clean up the Summer of Code FAS Group. Proposal:
1. Create a new FAS Group "summer-coding-alumni" and move all members of
the "summer-coding" FAS group to this group. I would be the admin of
this group.
2. Add me and spot as "summer-coding" admins. As projects proposals are
accepted, add those mentors as sponsors.
Is this ok with everyone?
Also, we need to think about how to give wiki access to GSoC students.
With the new spam controls you need CLA+1. I believe there are two
options:
1. Add student applicants to the summer-coding FAS group and then delete
them if they don't get accepted.
2. Create a new summer-coding-applicant FAS group and add students who
need wiki access. Remove all group members when the application
period closes as the student will either have been accepted and added to
summer-coding and possibly other FAS groups or the student did not get
accepted in which case they should join a part of the project and gain
wiki access through that portion of the project.
I need to get the wiki access issues resolved pretty quickly as I am
starting to get pings from students feeling us out about ideas now so I
want to be sure we have a way to help them by 20 March.
WDYT?
regards,
bex

Hello everyone,
I am a 1st year B.Tech student at Amrita University,India. I am also an
active member of the FOSS <http://foss.amrita.ac.in/> club at my
university where I get to explore various fields of FOSS and then I came
to know abouit Fedora and started contributing to it. So far, I am familiar
with C, C++, Python, HTML, CSS and AngularJS and I have worked on a few
projects using them. I am also learning RPM packaging
I have been working with Fedora Community and I have also fixed some bugs
in Fedora-infra/bodhi <https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi> [1],[2],[3]
and also working on some. It feels great to be associated with the
community and I look forward to be around for a long time.
I am looking for the GSoC in fedora this year and two projects that I found
interesting to me are - Fedora Atomic: Support for the end-of-life
notification and
ASP.NET Core web application for /r/Fedora subreddit.
