Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?

Fedora is a powerful operating system based on the Linux kernel. Under the Fedora Project include very successful open-source software releases such as NetworkManager, Policy Kit, FreeIPA, SELinux, HAL, D-bus, PulseAudio etc. As I hope to become a network engineer in my career in the shortest time I can with the real experiences, I believe Fedora Project is the best place for it. Because I can see a clear path to achieve my targets especially under the NetworkManager. Even though I won’t be able to do the GSoC 2012 I want to contribute with Fedora to improve the technical and communication skills.

Proposal Description

An overview of your proposal

According to the project description, the summarized idea is to create Insight use cases for calendar For any given Fedora Project team, any CLA-signed member of the Project will be able to check availability and schedule IRC meeting rooms on irc.freenode.net.User will be able to filter on team, as well as other Fedora event and other happenings, such as release schedule.

  • A new content type for Event could be set up, and the "create content" persmissions be given to the "CLA signed" role.
  • The new content type will have all the numerous Fields that we settle for after the discussions, and also have another use(linked through the User Reference Module) "responsible" for that event.
  • The event can be categorized based on a taxonomy setup on drupal, as say a Fedora Team Meeting or Fedora Release Schedule, etcwhich can be themed in the end to let the user know the category of the event in the Calender from the look of the event on the
 calender.
  • Regarding the creation of the Event, any one with required permissions can either create an event from an admin menu, or we can provide for a graphical "+" symbol on all the dates which appear on hover, to add the Event on that particular date. This would take manipulation and theming of the Calender module.
  • After the events are populated,the Views filters like team, release schedules, etc can be exposed to let users change them, and hence manipulate what appears in their Calender.Drupal Date filters can also be used to show only events completed till date, or all upcoming events.
  • For the proposed Timezone support, Drupal already has built in Timezone support, so that wont be an issue integrating with Calender.Drupal DateApi already provides an iCal Parser, so that can be used in conjunction to achieve the iCal import and export feature (Nevertheless, Views on which Calender module is based, already has a plugin Views iCal Export which can be used, but iCal imports are tricky), in specific categories of Events, options like "I am attending"(FUDcon) can be added , or "I am looking forwards to it"(a new Release) , using Drupal Taxonomy Vocabularies. And subsequently the code from Notifications/Subscriptions can be used to Send Notifications, and updates, etc)

The need you believe it fulfills

  • To achieve my target I want to improve my PHP & Drupal knowledge. Especially about Drupal.

Any relevant experience you have

  • As an undergraduate I have some good experiences about web designing and developing using PHP,HTML 5 & CMS. I have developed shopping cart(it's my first year Assignment),Plugin(for wordpress), etc. Also I have the basic knowledge of FAS systems, configuring Drupal, MySQL, jquary and javascript.

How do you intend to implement your proposal

  • Because these are some special features of Calender and it can be used as a separate application, I hope to implement these features using its source files.

Final deliverable of the proposal at the end of the period

  • Create Insight use case Calender according to the requirements.
  • Documentation.
  • Video demo about “how can user use Calender”.
  • Tutorial for those who are interested to learn how we modified Calender.
