Hello!

    I would like to apply this year for a GSoC project entitled „Implement an RHQ agent with Python” that I have found on your proposals' list [1].
    As this is my first message in this list, firstly I would like to write a bit about me. My name is Krzysztof Kwaśniewski. I study IT at Gdańsk University of Technology in Poland, 4th year. Just recently I graduated, become a Bachelor and started the second (MSc.) stage of studies. Last year I have taken part in GSoC with the Tcl organization, however their application was declined this year. My task was to prepare an extension to GDB that was intended to make debugging of Tcl interpreter easier. I have implemented that extension in Python - the repository of my last year's project may be found under the link [2].
    Apart from Python, which is one of my favorite programming languages, I also like Java and C very much. Moreover I know C# and a couple of other languages that I have - however - little contact with. For about 7 years I have been using Linux.
    Heiko Rupp has defined following initial requirements that need to be concerned for this year's project:
- installing the needed stuff
- writing the 'agent'

- agent reports some metrics and availability of resources
- agent discovers the resources
- agent startable at system boot
- prepare documentation for both the developer and the end user
    Definitely the project needs clarification and we will do our best to make it. The points above are only initial ones. I'm sure that any comments from other members of this list would be helpful to make this project successful and provide useful software. If you have any ideas or requirements for this project, please let me know about them.


                                                                                                    Thanks

                                                                                                        Krzysiek
