Fedora was accepted as one of the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) projects and I submitted a proposal to extend Aeolus support on Fedora [1] a few weeks back. We've gotten some interest in the project, and I've been helping various students install and get antiquated w/ the framework so that they can submit proposals of their own to work on some aspect of the project.
Here is one of those [2] that Samridh (cc'd, student attending P.E.S. institute of tech in Bangalore, India ) is working on, and I'm sending it around for comments and thoughts. Will reply to this thread with updates and more proposals as time goes on.
If anyone wants to expand upon my proposal with more specific items to work on and/or co-mentor it with me just shout out and we can make the necessary arrangements.

I think this is great! It sounds like a good opportunity.
The proposed tasks look great, though I worry that things may take longer than forecast. (I would love to be wrong, though.) It just sounds like a GTK interface + usage monitoring and visualization + Snap functionality could be a very large undertaking, and in some cases it relies on things that are still emerging. (For example, we don't really have an effective means of getting statistics from instances right now, and I suspect getting Matahari[1] integrated might be a prerequisite to being able to report on usage.) I'm all for aiming high; I just don't want anyone to be penalized for optimistic estimates. Content-wise, I think it's a terrific list.

Yes agreed, suggested that Samridh focus on one or two subproposals such expanding aeolus-cli or building a gtk app ontop of the conductor API, expanding the service layer to support additional functionality as necessary.

The GSoC student submission deadline is today. We got a few submissions for Aeolus (really like the first two)

Also a couple relating to extended Ruby support and promotion on Fedora

Hopefully a few of these will be accepted. Will keep ya'll in the loop.

Would anyone be willing to co-mentor the Aeolus GSoC project with me?
This is just a formality for the GSoC process, you would not have to do anything other than be ok with your name appearing on this list. I will take care of all the mentorship work (unless you'd like to be involved in which case you're more than welcome to participate in any way).
If your interested please respond on or off list. (asap as possible please as the deadline is in a few days).
Thank you, -Mo
