=== Proposal Description ===
Please describe your proposal in detail.  Include:
====An overview of your proposal====
* To help package JBOSS AS7 and similar components, e.g. Shrinkwrap, to help create a Fedora JBOSS spin.
* To get Shrinkwrap packaged and able to successfully build, install, and run for the next release.
* To pick up any other packaging tasks that are required to complete the packaging for the Fedora JBOSS spin project.
====The need you believe it fulfills====
* JBOSS provides Java Enterprise developers with an option of a compact distribution.
* Shrinkwrap provides a simple mechanism to assemble archives like JARs, WARs, and EARs with a friendly, fluent API, for Java Enterprise developers.
====Any relevant experience you have====
* Junior in the Computer Engineering program at University of Maryland Baltimore County. I have experience in developing, compiling, and submitting projects on a Linux distribution. I know C, C++, Python, Java, ant, cvs, and bash and I have used Fedora for years.
====How do you intend to implement your proposal====
* Start by becoming a proven packager.
* Do some research on using Maven, and the whole process.
* Start packaging the dependencies required by Shrinkwrap.
* Separate the Shrinkwrap source into separate build-able modules.
* Try to build against rawhide.
* And, test, test, test.
====Final deliverable of the proposal at the end of the period====
* Shrinkwrap completely packaged ready for the Fedora JBOSS spin.
====A rough timeline for your progress====
*
====Any other details you feel we should consider====
I have a lot of time to spend over the summer on this project.
=== Have you communicated with a potential mentor?  If so, who? ===
