Summary of idea:
The main of this idea is to develop an application which reduces the work of a user who wants to create or submit a video . Right now we already have tools for recording etc. But what is expected from this application is to have all features in one application with an easy to use interface .
Some of the features like :
*Desktop recording
*Easy Screencasting
*Adding Subtitles ( generating the requried file which can be uploaded for translation purpose )
*Easy Uploading feature to specified location
and many more can be added .

''Status:'' Proposed
'''Gesture + Mouse Desktop Navigation feature'''


''Summary of idea:'' The idea is to make an AUR clone for Fedora where users can submit buildfiles, which need to be hosted. These set of files can compile packages on the user side, and installed locally.
Status: Proposed


The benefit of this method is:
Summary of idea:
# No need to host the entire packages (saving space on servers hosting the RPMs)
Mouse has been the main navigation tool for us for decades. In my idea I propose to include simple hand gestures as complementary to mouse actions.
# Make changes to the buildfile, and not compile the package
For example in the file browser forward or backward action can be easily replaced by simply swiping hand left or right.
# Can pull sources from any version control system/stored tarballs to make a very upto-date package. (See blog entry for an example)
This would be an experimental feature


''Contacts:'' [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Anujmore Anuj More]
How it will be implemented
- Image processing for hand gestures will be done by skin threshold using OpenCV
- The program will act as a service running in background
- Back,Forward and deletion can be easily implemented using gestures.


''Notes:'' Need mentor. Need advice on feasibility of the software and issues that can arise.

Analogy:

This is a lot like "having your own library" vs "getting a book from a bookstore".
If you refer a book often, you'd keep it in your library. This would occupy space and consume resources.
Otherwise, you'd just pull out a separate paper with instructions about the bookstore to find the book, and fetch the book from the store.
Though the first method is hassle-free, it is not possible to have all the books in the world with you.

===Localization - Enhancing the FUEL Project===
''Status:'' Proposed
''Summary of Idea:'' A need is felt for standardization of frequently used entries in localization. The [http://fedorahosted.org/fuel/ FUEL Project] is one such attempt. However, the project entries is far from exhaustive and a need is felt to enhance the database. The project will attempt to write scripts to scan l10n files and create an exhaustive list of entries that are needed. Then a platform (web-based) where standardized localizations can be listed for various languages and can be accessible to everyone. <br>

===Artificial Intelligence Based SELinux security Protocol for Fedora Project===


''Status:'' Proposed
''Status:''Proposed


''Summary of idea:'' The idea is to make an '''on-demand''' Web-based build service (similar to [https://build.opensuse.org/ Open Suse Build Service] and [http://www.slax.org/build.php Slax]) which users/developers can use to make custom Fedora based distributions. The service should also also have a REST API (or similar).
''Summary of idea:'' I proposed a security project. In which SELinux is always active but act upon the Artificial Intelligence enhanced data for its operation and implementation.
SELinux covers access control mechanism. So it will automatically  change its implemntation as per the user usage of the machine. like a user uses VoIP then the SELinux limits only the VoIP send and recieve ports . Rest of the access is blocked or limited and when user switches to FTP server or any other application, It also shift its implementation.
