Welcome to the Fedora GSoC 2016 mailing list, Sae Hun! Glad to have you 
here.

Thanks for reaching out! That's awesome that you're wanting to get more 
involved with open source and Fedora. We're definitely willing to help 
you get started in your open source journey! That's also really cool 
that you've worked on some programs like FreeCodeCamp. Always nice to 
see a little humanitarian aspect worked in there. :)

Yes, Cockpit + systemd timers ARE listed as a GSoC project. Whether or 
not we get a slot for it will depend on a couple of things:

1) The number of mentors allocated to the project idea.
2) The number and strength of applicants we have applying for a slot.
3) The number of slots we are awarded by Google.

The best way to ensure that we DO get a slot for it is to follow the 
procedure described at the bottom of the GSoC organization page.

You've already introduced yourself to the mailing list now, so that's 
one item off your checklist. Next, you can begin frequenting the various 
IRC channels (#fedora-summer-coding, #cockpit, etc.), and then work with 
mentors to figure out your next steps. Additionally, there is a post on 
the Fedora Community Blog that should help answer many of your questions 
about what to do next.

Finally, if you didn't see Remy's earlier post on the mailing list, he 
gave some more specific instructions about GSoC 2016, what to expect, 
and some great advice for moving forward. Please give it a read if you 
have not already!

We look forward to getting to know you!
