Hi all,
My name is Praful Johari. I am an undergraduate student at Indian
Institute of Technology, Guwahati. I am interested in working on the
project idea
"Automated resizing of LVM filesystems" and have already submitted my
proposal to melange.

I am experienced in C/C++ programming languages, as I was interested
in systems programming from the beginning of my college days. I am
quite proficient in python and have developed many small utilities in
it for fun. I am also an ardent openSUSE fan. I was looking for a
chance to start hacking into its code and try to improve it or develop
applications for it, and GSoC provided the perfect opportunity for me!
I look forward to the day when the majority of the code in the OS will
have atleast some contributions of mine.

For this project, I have an idea to develop an application, which will
aid in LVM extension and make life of users more easy.
More details are on the melange site proposal :
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/praful/1

I have been in constant contact with my mentor, Petr Uzel, and with
his help, have modified the original proposal idea greatly to reflect
the ease of use for the users, a wider area of application, and the
(possible) future integration into the OS itself.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Thanks!

Cordially,
Praful Johari
