Hi, I have made my Proposal wiki page[1] for your reference , do comment and review it and help me in improving it as required. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSOC_2013/Student_Application_rag3nix/Gitlib IRC : rag3nix , rag3

Hi, So, The GitLab hosting project has been scrubbed and replaced with packaging. What about the GSOC submission?

Anyways , the change is not the issue. A few days back Vit sent me links about packaging[1][2], I have already started on it .

But then still , how would the change in project idea affect my evaluation , as I understand it changes the whole proposal idea so should I change my proposal accordingly and am I allowed to do so now?

Hi Kevin, I am as interested in this project as I was before, the changing of Title isnt an issue . What I am worried about is my proposal does not fit with the current idea. So I was asking the mentor for this project if I am allowed to modify it. I mailed bckurera and he said he has no problem as long as the mentor is ready with it. I have read about the packaging and am talking on ML about RFR and same. I have a proposal ready to resubmit on fedora wiki. Just waiting if I am allowed to do so.

I really want to see how many people will actually volunteer to any project if we say that please work on it but we will not count that as part of gsoc.

I know it may seem like "oh these folks are just doing it for the money", but many do it because the money enables them to do it (don't have to spend all their time doing something pointless like flipping burgers). Even though they many people would like to do it anyway, they have to spend all their time making as much money as they can so that they can go back to continue their studies. _______________________________________________ summer-coding mailing list summer-coding(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/summer-coding
