Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project? Fedora, as per me, is the perfect platform that demonstrates quality releases without any relaxation of stability. The entire concept of fedora which defines the reason behind its existence seems so ‘Revolutionary’ as far as the open source world is concerned.
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora project or another open source project as a contributor?
No, I don’t have any past contributions made to the fedora project. However, I have tried my hands in Mozilla Firefox os app development and in Python web application development using Django. Also i have contributed to the Spoken Tutorials Project (IIT-B) which is intended to spread online education via Workshops and online examination.
Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?
No.
Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2013 program, if yes, which team(s), you are interested with?
Yes, I don’t see any reason not to . Teams I am interested in, are :
Fedora quality assurance Planet fedora Fedora Websites.
Why should we choose you over other applicants?
Apart from the basic reason that I am very much interested and ready to work , I see myself as potential contributor to the Waartaa project of fedora . The entire concept of such a search enabled irc service is a reason enough to ignite the motivation inside me. Also, I feel I can proof my presence and be of much use in the same.
Proposal Description
Please describe your proposal in detail. Include:
An overview of your proposal
The main objective of my proposal is the buld a central hub for Waartaa which would enhance the storage and searching gear of the system. The idea is to integrate ElasticSearch with Waartaa that will support both storage and searching of irc user logs.The fulltext feature of Elasticsearch is to be applied and will thereby support both storage into the mongoDb and for future indexing and searching. The need you believe it fulfills
The main need of existence of such a feature is to allow users to refer to past logs which may contain usefull information, be it a meeting, a tutorial or a solution to a bug faced again and again.So without going for the extraneous process of self stroring and retrieving the irc logs ,Waartaa will be doing that for the users and that they can refer to the logs anytime in need.
