Hi,
I'm not sure I'm allowed to write to this list for GSoC questions,
but it looks like most of the people interested in this application
can be found only here, so I took a chance.
Sure. The list is open to all. ;)
I'm a student from Romania, looking to hack some Ruby code
during
this summer
and I found Fedora as one of the not so many organizations offering
this opportunity.
I read the whole thread, and I found suggestions and conditions you
need from a student, pleasant for myself.
I know Ruby (among other programming languages) and I know
sysadmining. Previously I had 2 successful GSoC editions with
WordPress Foundation, and my first year project latest commit dates
March 14th, this year.
The only problem I can for-see, is that I had and still maintain
deep involvement in Ubuntu community (I'm the infrastructure admin
for ubuntu-ro).
I don't know if this is an issue or not, but I really hope this wont
affect in any way our relationship (here in Romania, we do Barcamps
every year with fedora-ro, with beer, hiking and lots of pics, thx to
@nicubunu
http://camp.softwareliber.ro/2011/poze ). :)
I see no problem with being in a number of communities.
As long as you have time/energy to do so, more power to you. ;)
If all this stuff sounds interesting, I would be happy to present a
draft on how we could solve FedoraHosted transition to Gitlab, and
ensure its well maintained from now on.
Lately I started to hang on
#fedora-summer-coding|#jbosstesting@freenode, but I'm not sure whom I
should query. I can't see Dan either online.
I also have a Github account:
https://github.com/stas
and a resume:

Thanks in advance for reading this, and I'm looking forward for your
reply.
Well, the big hurdles with this project were mentioned in the previous
thread. To my mind the first big problem is getting mod_passenger
packaged, and thats something that you may not have much control over.
(It will be done when it's done).
Next would be making sure that there's a group of people who know how
to manage/maintain/operate things so that after the summer is over
there's not a abandonded proof of concept no one can use. ;)
