Questionaire
Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
Because I enjoy using it and I want to give back
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora project or any other open source project as a contributor?
No
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 2015 program, if yes, which team(s), you are interested with?
Yes, definitely. I wanted to contribute even before I knew about GSoC and it's just perfect opportunity to join fedora.
Server group (trying to enhace cockpit)
Why should we choose you over other applicants?
I don't exactly know, but here are few points:
- I use fedora on daily basis and wouldn't change
- I also installed fedora on all computers I administer because I find it easy to manage (apart from short lifecycle)
- That includes two servers running wide variety of services (from webserver and gitlab to minecraft server)
- Therefore I know what would be useful to server administrator
Copy of application
Development plan
- In community bonding period
- Dig through cockpit codebase to find best places to implement desired features
- Learn d-bus
- Create minimal working interface (press button to deploy)
- Incrementally add new options for deployment
- Fix bugs
- Create documentation (if necessary - it should be self-explaining)
- I should have enough time to add Database Server Role, too.
Few thoughts
- I want to make it easy to deploy fast with only few options (password)
- But at the same time make it possible to tweak every option
- I want to put emphasis on well-arranged interface with great user experience
- Main focus would be on easy to use interface
Why me?
- I want to actually use it so I will pay attention to every detail
- I think I have enough knowledge to do this (I already worked on few web apps)
- I consider myself fluent in C and HTML/CSS/Javascript/jQuery
