Dear Fedora Community, My name is Stephen Odhiambo, and I am interested in participating in Google Summer of Code 2025 with Fedora. I am particularly excited about the Fedora Packaging Automation Service project, which aims to streamline package submissions using automated pull-request workflows. This project aligns with my skills in Python, Git, Linux, and CI/CD, and I am eager to contribute. I would love to connect with you and other community members to understand how I can get started and contribute effectively. Is there a way I can send a draft of my proposal ? Looking forward to collaborating with the Fedora community! Best regards, Stephen Odhiambo

Introduction and answers to some of the questions which were asked on this list earlier
by Huzaifa Sidhpurwala 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

Hello, As many of you may already be aware, I serve as a mentor for the proposed Fedora GSoC project titled 'AI-Enabled Triager and Security Alert Aggregator.' I currently work as a Senior Principal Product Security Engineer at Red Hat, focusing on AI security, safety, and trustworthiness. I recently joined the list and it seems, there were some questions asked about my proposed project, which I would like to answer here: Question from Ayush Jayaswal: Regarding the intelligence of the tool: The idea is to either use a pre-trained small model from huggingface or use a machine learning method to create a solution, where given enough logs, the system is able to figure out 1. The general health of the system, for example if it seems like frequent write errors it should be able to predict that given the fact that the errors are increasing at a linear rate everyday, the hard drive may fail in the next 6 months and therefore you should back up as soon as possible. And similar other scenarios for security issues also. For this project, we should plan to limit to around 5 or maximum 10 such scenarios, but with training the system can be extended. Regarding performance issues: The idea is to run the tool once a day or once in two days. The tool ingests logs from the point of last ingestion and does not have to be always on. The user will have an option to keep it on and just run them on security logs, but again its configurable. All communication needs to be done on this mailing list and on https://chat.fedoraproject.org/#/room/#google-summer-coding:fedora.im Questions from Aazam Thakur: I think some of the above should already answer your question. The idea here is not to resolve the "pain" in triaging logs, but to gain "intelligent" insights from our logs. Also as an extension the system suggests possible remediations as well. Thank you and let me know (on this list or matrix) if you have any questions. -- Regards, Huzaifa Sidhpurwala Senior Principal Product Security Engineer AI security, safety and trustworthiness

AI-Powered Log Triage and Security Alert Aggregator for Fedora
by Naitik Agrawal 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

Hello everyone, Myself Naitik Agrawal , undergrad student at IIT BHU I'm excited to join the discussion on the AI-Enabled Triage and Security Alert Aggregator project. I have a few questions: Will logs be provided as raw text, or is there a specified format we should expect? Are there training cases and examples available for the ML/NLP models, or should we generate these? Looking forward to your feedback!

Getting started with AI-Powered Log Triage and Security Alert Aggregator for Fedora
by Aazam Thakur 02 Mar '25

02 Mar '25

Hello fedora community :) My name is Aazam Thakur, I am a senior year engineering undergrad majoring in AI. I have decided to pick fedora and the log triage idea as my goal for gsoc. I have tons of open source experience (last summer did the linux foundation mentorship!) and love linux in general. Now coming back on topic, I'd like to know more of some of the pain points of triaging logs by system admins and what they would like incorporated in this project to reap the most benefits! Sincerely, Aazam Thakur
