Hi Everyone,
I've been looking into the GSoC 2015 projects and am interested in the
Fedora Patch Tracker project. The project involves a fair amount of python
and web development skills and is something that I'm comfortable working on.
I'm a sophomore at Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Goa Campus [1]
majoring in Computer Science and Economics. In the last few years, I've
contributed to a few open source projects during Google Code In 2011 (where
I was one of the grand prize winners [2]) and Google Summer of Code 2014
with Sahana Software Foundation (the project involved creating an interface
for deploying their product and made heavy use of automation tools like
Ansible). I've been using Linux for 8 years, alternating between different
distributions (Fedora, Archlinux and Ubuntu) and have a fair amount of
experience working on them.
After some discussions with Till, I've come up with a prototype for the
project whose source can be accessed at [3] and a live instance is
available at [4]. The prototype is a work in progress and there are some
limitations as mentioned in the README.
I'd really appreciate some feedback and suggestions on the prototype and I
look forward to making it even better.
Looking forward to contributing this summer.
P.S. Please abide by the limitations in the readme while trying out the
prototype until the design is improved.
Regards,
Gaurav Narula
