Hello, everybody!
My name is Sae Hun and I am a junior undergraduate Computer Science student interested in
contributing to Fedora during this year's Google Summer of Code. My goal is to take
this opportunity to learn more about Fedora and open source software development
methodologies.
I have experience with Java and C++ from my formal educational experience. I also have
exposure to HTML/CSS/JavaScript from working on free online programs such as FreeCodeCamp.
The course works and the little projects that I have done in order to better learn these
languages can be seen on my GitHub linked below. With my limited experiences, I feel that
I would be best suited to the 'Cockpit support for systemd timers' project.
I look forward to working with the mentors and taking my first steps towards contributing
to Fedora.
Best Regards,
Sae Hun Kim

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!
