Hello, I'm Zsombor Szántó and I'd love to participate in GSoC this year with
Fedora at the CommOps team.
# About me
I'm from Hungary, I'm a freshman BI student at Corvinus University of Budapest,
and a Fedora user since F19.
Infrastructure tools and Linux on the server-side in general interest me a lot. I've
been programming as a hobby for about 4 years, and I'm most comfortable in Python and
Ruby.
I'm passionate about free software as a user, and I'd like to contribute to Fedora
to help make it even better.
I have a few small projects of my own [1], and I also make occasional fixes or additions
to programs I use [2].
However, my goal is to become more involved with opensource development, and I think this
program with the mentoring and guidance is a great opportunity for that.
# Project preparation
I'd like to work on the Metrics project of the CommOps team [3] where I could take the
"Custom statscache plugins for metrics" task.
I've tried out the related tools for the project: statscache, statscache_plugins,
fedora-stats-tools, and gsoc-stats.
While I was going through the statscache plugin guide I stumbled upon a small bug there,
which I submitted a PR for here [4].
I'll be discussing the project with the CommOps team, and upload my final application
to the wiki - I'll be online and ask some questions about the project at
#fedora-commops later today.
Regards,
Zsombor
