GSoC Idea - Anerist
by Zach Oglesby
We have finished typing up our idea[1] for Anerist[2] this year in
Google Summer of Code. This project is working to create a new tool
chain for document creation that is not tied to a specific markup
language while still providing high quality finished products that users
expect form software products.
This project is vitally important to the efforts of the Fedora
Documentation team as the current tools are out dated and create a large
barrier to entry for new contributors. The days of people being willing
to learn Docbook are long past, today people want to write in Markdown,
reStructuredText, asciidoc, or whatever their favorite markup language
is.
Anerist is the tool to provide that way forward for new contributors,
Fedora, and other projects looking to create world class documentation.
If you are looking for a challenging Python project that will help to
move a project forward please consider making a proposal[3] to work on
Anerist this summer.

Hi Ritesh! Welcome to the CommOps mailing list. We're happy to have you
here!
Yes, CommOps IS listed as a GSoC project. Whether or not we get a slot
for it will depend on a couple of things:
1) The number of mentors allocated to the project idea.
2) The number and strength of applicants we have applying for a slot.
3) The number of slots we are awarded by Google.
The best way to ensure that we DO get a slot for it is to follow the
procedure described at the bottom of the GSoC organization page (
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5630777857409024/ ).
You can start by introducing yourself to the summer-coding mailing list
and the various IRC channels (#fedora-summer-coding, #fedora-apps, and
#fedora-commops), and then work with mentors to figure out your next steps.
We look forward to getting to know you!

Lajos,
Great to meet you!
I'm excited to hear you're interested in participating in GSoC with
Fedora this year. Based on your skills listed above, I think you could
be a fit for a couple of our project ideas, Fedora Hubs Included.
On our GSoC organization page, there is a detailed process for getting
started. You can find that information at the bottom of the page
here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5630777857409024/
Start by introducing yourself to the summer-coding list and the various IRC
channels (#fedora-summer-coding, #fedora-apps, and #fedora-commops)
and then work with mentors to figure out your next steps.
We Look Forward to getting to know you,
--RemyD.

GSOC 2016 project proposal - Rollback upgrades
by Amila Sampath
Hi,
I am Amila Sampath, and Engineering student form University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. Since I'm a Linux lover, I planed on working with a Linux related project for the GSOC 2016. I found interesting with your project of rollback Linux upgrades. I have experience with Linux since 2006, and I have made my own customized Linux distribution on last year.
Working through with the project, I would like to get some more information about the project. I think about the project and I came out with some solutions for this project. One is backup the system before upgrading the new Linux vision and this will cost HDD space of user PC. Other method, is to search and save old vision file links form a given server and for rollback, download that files build up the old file structure. In this method it will cost Internet service charges to users. And another method was to while upgrading the system, scan the new file and old file and save the difference of the file in another file and replace that data when the system is rollback.
I would like to contact with you over skype if it is possible. I'm looking forward of replay.
Thank you,
Amila.
p.s.: I have mid semester examination on next week (08/03/2016to11/03/2016). Therefore working with this project on this days are little hard for me with the exam.
