Questions to answer
Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
FUDCon 2015 was the first conference which I had attended after coming into the world of FOSS. It was a great experience as I could learn a lot from the workshops and talks. Also, we have a FOSS club in our college, FOSS@Amrita where I met Joerg Simon who spoke about Fedora which made me really excited to work with Fedora.
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora Project or another open-source project as a contributor?
Yes. I did some minor bug fixes for fedora procps tools and also in Mediawiki
Have you participated in GSoC in the past? If so, what year(s) and which organization(s)?
No. This is my first-time application for GSoC and the very first organization.
Do you plan to continue contributing to the Fedora Project after GSoC? If yes, what sub-project(s) are you interested with?
Yes. I would like to contribute to Fedora-hubs and Fedora-websites even if I don't get into GSoC. GSoC preparation helps to get in touch with mentors and also know more about the community.
Why should we choose you over other applicants?
I have previous experience working in the open source world. As I had mentioned, I have some minor bug fixes. Also, I am an active member of FOSS@Amrita club. Also, given a task, I am sure to complete it within the stipulated time.
Have you worked for ANY open source orgs / project and have artifacts we can see / judge your skill-set(s) off?
I have worked on developing a website for an event in our college which had some previous versions in the same github account and the previously mentioned bug fixes.
Proposal Description
Overview and The Need
Fedoras Hubs project is aimed at the contributor circle. It is a Portal where a developer or a newbie can contribute to Fedora in a much easier way. The reusable features will allow the Portal to use this work to speak to general developers who may not have an interest in working in the Fedora community, but want to connect with community members for advice, best practices, or to generate interest in their upstream project. Contributors work on different projects in Fedora, and this portal can get information on all the different projects they are working on
Any relevant experience you have
As a contributor, I have worked on some websites wh
How do you intend to implement your proposal
Refactoring will be done in the code base to a certain extent as discussed with the mentor and also the journaling feature - 'changelog' of glusterfs will be customised to serve the file-level synchronization.
A rough timeline for your progress
