Hello everyone!
I am Utkarsh Anand, a second year undergraduate student studying at
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. I have been using fedora since
the release "Fedora 13, Goddard" and I would like to contribute to the
project. I am familiar with many programming languages (C, C++,
Python, Javascript etc. to name a few). Currently I am using Fedora 25
as my primary Linux OS. I would like to apply for "dnf-pip-plugin" as
GSoC 2017 project. I'll be going through the dnf source code and
documentation. Is there anything else I need to learn?
I am glad you are interested in participating as a Fedora Contributor
and as a GSoC student. I strongly encourage you to study the wiki pages
we have created for GSoC and to read about the project you are
interested in. Once you have done the exploration you are capable of,
you should write specific questions that we can answer.
One thing that helps students be successful and grow from the GSoC
experience is to learn to do the research required to ask specific
questions. We will be happy to help and mentor you, but we'd like to
see what you find and have questions about with out "spoon-feeding" you
the whole time.
Have you read the DNF docs yet? Have you looked into the project
description and any bugs that may be filed along side the code? These
are things that will become obvious when you write a specific question
as opposed to a general "anything else I should learn?" style question.
Thank you and I look forward to continuing to work side-by-side with you
whether through GSoC or not.
regards,
bex
