AUR Clone for Fedora
by nuocu
Hello all,
I am thinking of applying for summer of code and would be interested in implementing the AUR clone.
However I have a few questions:
(0) Some supposed projects of summer of code come with estimated difficulty levels. How hard/easy would you consider this one ?
(1) Would it be alright to use checkinstall for generating the packages after compiling ?
(2) Could you provide a rough estimation on how much background knowledge on the package management in fedora is needed ? I am asking this, because I use arch linux, so I know the AUR, but I am not really deep into fedora yet.
(3) I am not studying in the US, so my schedule for University and exams might (and surely will) be different from the US defaults - is that a problem?

discussion regarding GSOC'13
by Avik Pal
Hello,
over the past couple of weeks I have sent several emails
introducing myself to the community and expressing my interest in couple of
projects. But I am yet to get any feedbacks, as the student application
opening day is approaching I would love to hear from the community and to
discuss with the mentors the technical details.

Hello,
I'm Avik, 3rd yr (junior) bachelor CS student from Bengal Engineering &
Science University,Shibpur.
I went through the GSOC '13 ideas list and found the project *Implement a
binding translator for GlusterFS* very interesting. I also would like to
say that I also fulfill all the necessary prerequisites given in the
project ideas page.
A little about myself(you may wanna skip this)
I have about 4 years of programming experience, I am the coordinator of the
Software Club in my University and help first and second year students with
Algorithms, I sometimes also take coding sessions here. My team qualified
for the ACM-ICPC 2012 Regionals(only team selected from my university in
that region).
I'm hoping to participate in GSoC since while I'm an avid open-source
enthusiast, I haven't had any chance in contributing to something this big
before and it's about time to fix that.You can find some of my toy projects
at https://github.com/avikpal
I have been going through the links given in your page and documentations
here and there, maybe you can help me with some useful resources so that
right away I can start contributing and in this way sharpen my skills
before GSOC actually starts.
I will be accessible by email and through IRC (nick avikp at freenode), but
since my time zone is UTC+5:30, I might not be accessible at all times.

Google Melange | Registration deadlines
by Sarup Banskota
Hi Buddhike,
Greetings.
You mentioned on the mailing list about less than 8 days remaining for the
application submission deadlines. But the Melange timeline says it starts
on the 22nd, Were you referring to something else? Is there any process I'm
missing out?
Also, are there any deadlines to adding student proposals to the wiki?
Finally at the time of evaluation, does the team refer to the wiki, or to
the text file submitted though melange?
Thank you,
Sarup Banskota
