Hello everybody,
My name is Efstathios Agrapidis (efagra) and I am a final year undergraduate student at the University of Macedonia [1] in Greece, where I study Applied Information Technology. I am currently an openSUSE user for the last two years and linux user since almost a decade (hoping from one distro to another), but really new to the beauty of the community behind such projects (one and a half year). I have mostly contributed to the greek part of the community by mentoring in this year's GCI, partitipating in events, translating software/weekly news/wiki, making presentations and I think this would be the best oportunity for me to start contributing in the software part of the distribution.
It's always good to see our contributors applying to GSoC! [...]
I am not interested only in one specific project but in many and I need guidance on how to proceed, as I have different reasons for each idea. Below I am listing all of them line by line:
SUSE Studio Java Client SDK Gtk Front End to Oyranos Redesign fdisk to be more extensible and implement GPT support On-demand Symbolic Memory Concolic Symbolic Execution LTP:Fix/Implement automated kernel/glibc tests Automatic resizing of LVM volumes and filesystems
There are two obvious comments here: - we can't decide what project you're more interested in :-) - it's better to focus on one, or maybe two projects and apply only for those. The second point is really important as, otherwise, you won't be able to apply with good project submissions, and this will mean you're losing some chances of getting accepted. My advice for you is to look at your list, think hard about the projects that will be the most fun for you (and there's no wrong answer here!), and focus on those. You can then contact the potential mentors and discuss with them a bit before applying. Good luck with GSoc!
