[opensuse-project] [GsoC 2012] Application / Self-introduction
Greetings, My name is Alexandros-Panayiotis Natsios (a.k.a Alex-P. Natsios or Drakevr). Currently i am an undergrad in the Technological Educational Institute(TEI) of Larissa in Greece, studying Computer Science(cs). I speak 2 languages: Greek (native speaker) and English (C2 Level). I am a member of the local user group of our institute (LinuxTeam @ TEI of Larissa) and the Greek openSUSE community. I have been an avid supporter of the community and distro itself, both helping in various events like fosscomm (Greek, free open source software communities meeting) and occasional local events (mostly in Larissa). Furthermore i have participated in last years GCI (Google Code In 2011) as a mentor for the alternative Open Source Haiku-OS ( http://haiku-os.org ) I studied and program in C/C++ and occasionally in Perl & Ruby, I have used Qt in the past (C++) so it should be fairly easy for me to get back on track with it. I am by no means a guru in any of those languages & toolkit, i am fairly accustomed with them though. I am really interested in this idea: Beautiful one-click install I firmly believe that this project will be beneficial for both openSUSE for an easy and quick way to install packages and myself as both an entry point for improving my skills in Qt and actively contribute to the community by developing a tool that will be useful for the current community and as an easier "entrance" point for new users by creating specific package bundles or themed package lists that would be a click away to get. -- Best Regards, Alex-P.

Yes, I think it would be great, if we can improve that. The on-click-install
is a wonderful openSUSE feature and it deserves to be presented in a more easy
way for users.
Looking forward to your official proposal.
And by the way, code speaks, so if you can put together some prototypes, this
will certainly improve your application :-)
