GSoC : Integrate Proxy Settings and Network Connections(Locations) project

[Buddhike Kurera]

Hello,

Sending the following email which found on the devel-list.

Hello!

I am Siddharth 2nd year Undergraduate student pursuing M.Sc(TECH)
Information Systems at BITS-Pilani India. I am thorough with languages
like C, C++ and Java and currently learning Python.

I am keenly interested in contributing to the Integrate Proxy Settings
and Network Connections(Locations) project of Fedora Projects for
GSoC-2012.

My understanding of the project is that when a user connects to a
network, all settings such as proxy settings, IP settings (if
required), sharing options etc will be saved for each network. So
whenever the user connects to a previously connected network all these
settings are automatically loaded. Thus making networking much more
user friendly.

Please suggest me how should I go about the project. Should I straight
away make a proposal and send it across or do something else prior to
that.

Any suggestion or advice will help a lot. :)

Thanking you.

Best regards,
Siddharth Mohan Misra.

hi fellows,

I like to propose my idea to the project  "Insight use cases for
calendar".
         I already submit it to the project wiki. I like
to receive feedback too. Here is the link for my project wiki

Hi Malith,
         No Offence, but have you not blatantly copied content from my
description of the project and my plan of action for the project ? Word by
Word ?
My first mail describing the project and my plan of action is archived at :
http://www.all-mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/1-1203...

and my student application for the project is found at :
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=GSOC_2012/Student_Application_sp...
.

Your Project Overview looks *exactly* same like my project description as
in my archived mail and my student application. Maybe a case would be we
came up with the exact same words. But what my concern was, when we are
applying for the very same project in the very same organisation on the
very same mailing lists, the exact same words seem a bit odd. :)

Regards,
Mohanty.
