GSoc 2020 Participation Intent.
by Varad Bhatnagar 22 Jul '25

22 Jul '25

Respected Sir/ Ma'am I am Varad Bhatnagar from IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India. I am a student in the Computer Science Department here. I am interested in participating in GSoC 2020 by contributing to your organization. I am well versed with Operating System concepts such as Shells, Memory Allocators, Synchronization, Processes and Multithreading. Some of the projects that I have done as part of the coursework here are: 1. Writing my own mini Shell which mimics BASH Commands. I used several system calls and some of my own logic to accomplish this. 2. Writing my own Memory allocator using Buddy System. 3. Building a Distributed Hash Table using the Chord Protocol. Please give me pointers on how to get started with your organization in this regard. Thanks and Regards Varad Bhatnagar IIT Bombay

Hi, I am Ishan Rai and I am interested in working on the project *Add varlink support to nmstate*. I have cloned and built the repository on my fedora 31. I have also undergone the proof of concept. I participated in Google Summer of Code'19 with Ganga under CERN-HSF and I am still an active part of the organization. I am hoping to participate in Google Summer of Code'20 with Fedora and become an active member of the community even after the periods ends. Regards, Ishan Rai GitHub: https://github.com/ishanrai05

Dear Fedora Community, My name is Stephen Odhiambo, and I am interested in participating in Google Summer of Code 2025 with Fedora. I am particularly excited about the Fedora Packaging Automation Service project, which aims to streamline package submissions using automated pull-request workflows. This project aligns with my skills in Python, Git, Linux, and CI/CD, and I am eager to contribute. I would love to connect with you and other community members to understand how I can get started and contribute effectively. Is there a way I can send a draft of my proposal ? Looking forward to collaborating with the Fedora community! Best regards, Stephen Odhiambo

Introduction and answers to some of the questions which were asked on this list earlier
by Huzaifa Sidhpurwala 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

Hello, As many of you may already be aware, I serve as a mentor for the proposed Fedora GSoC project titled 'AI-Enabled Triager and Security Alert Aggregator.' I currently work as a Senior Principal Product Security Engineer at Red Hat, focusing on AI security, safety, and trustworthiness. I recently joined the list and it seems, there were some questions asked about my proposed project, which I would like to answer here: Question from Ayush Jayaswal: Regarding the intelligence of the tool: The idea is to either use a pre-trained small model from huggingface or use a machine learning method to create a solution, where given enough logs, the system is able to figure out 1. The general health of the system, for example if it seems like frequent write errors it should be able to predict that given the fact that the errors are increasing at a linear rate everyday, the hard drive may fail in the next 6 months and therefore you should back up as soon as possible. And similar other scenarios for security issues also. For this project, we should plan to limit to around 5 or maximum 10 such scenarios, but with training the system can be extended. Regarding performance issues: The idea is to run the tool once a day or once in two days. The tool ingests logs from the point of last ingestion and does not have to be always on. The user will have an option to keep it on and just run them on security logs, but again its configurable. All communication needs to be done on this mailing list and on https://chat.fedoraproject.org/#/room/#google-summer-coding:fedora.im Questions from Aazam Thakur: I think some of the above should already answer your question. The idea here is not to resolve the "pain" in triaging logs, but to gain "intelligent" insights from our logs. Also as an extension the system suggests possible remediations as well. Thank you and let me know (on this list or matrix) if you have any questions. -- Regards, Huzaifa Sidhpurwala Senior Principal Product Security Engineer AI security, safety and trustworthiness
