GSoC Student Introduction
by Pravin Chaudhary
Hello World!
I am Pravin Chaudhary and I will be working on the project Centralized
Metrics generation.
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2017>
I am really excited to be a part of the Summer of Code and look forward to
interacting and working with all the community members. I love the
GNU/Linux ecosystem in general and Fedora is the crown prince of this
kingdom in my opinion. I am pumped to have an opportunity to help dress the
Prince and help him look sharper.
Please find my proposal here - https://fedoraproject.org/

Comments welcome!
Thank you!

Mandy Wang -- GSoC student introduction
by Mandy Wang
Hi all,
I’m Mandy, my FAS is mandymy, I’m a GSoC student in fedora this round.
I’m going to coding for the project “Migrate Plinth to Fedora Server”.
Plinth is a web interface to administer the functions of the FreedomBox
which is a Debian based project, and the main goal of this idea is to
make it available for Fedora. You can learn more in my application wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSOC_2017/Student_Application_Mandymy.
I have communicated with my mentor about the details of our project
these days, and as a newcomer to Fedora, I will appreciate your guidance!
Above all, very happy to join fedora’s family and looking forward to
this summer!
Best,
Mandy Wang

That is a great idea which we haven't considered yet. We will definitely
consider doing so (the idea is to have an extensible tool which we could
point to different software repositories). Thank you for the input!
I Cc'd the summer-coding mailing list here :)
