Hello, I'm a french student and I am interested by one of your project for the Google Summer of Code 2012. I have made PHP for 4 years, and I really enjoy this language and the web coding in general. Currently, i'm following my second year in an engineering school named University of Technology of Belfort-Montbéliard and based in France. I'll join the computer science department next year. Let's talk a bit about the project : Make openSUSE Connect more engaging One of the most important part in a community project is the communication between users, developpers, testers... As we can see, social networks are currently the best way to communicate, and I think a social network dedicated to the openSUSE community is a good idea. But it seems that this network is not really used. The lack of some features could be the main reason. To stay in the Google Summer of Code idea, I think the new features should be implemented as Elgg's plugins, maybe with an improvement of an existing one, or with an all new one. The benefits of this project will be for both the openSUSE community and the Elgg community. More communication will allow more people to know openSUSE, which deserved to be best known. I've already worked on long time and big projects such as browsers games, so i'm not afraid of 3 months of coding. My goal is to discover the work in an organization and with foreigners, and to help the two communities. That's could be a really good experience, and I could improve my english.
