Hello Varad
Welcome :)

Hi! I'm a student from India interested in participating in Google Summer of Code-2014 with openSUSE. I am interested in working on on the "Integrate Windows NTFS shadow volume browsing into openSUSE GUI tools" [1] idea. I've downloaded and used libvshadow through the command line.
I got in touch with Greg Freemyer and packaged libewf through osc, as suggested by him to get a hang of how openSUSE development process works [2].
Good to know that you are already contributing, all the best
Can the idea of integrating Snapper Snapshot browsing into openSUSE Desktop [3] be integrated with the same idea? There could be a snapshot handling framework built into the desktop tool that could take care of both Snapper snapshots and Shadow Volumes.
This will have to be discussed with the mentors, Arvin, Josef and Greg. However, for GSoC purposes these are 2 separate ideas for now, however we will be willing to see what the mentors have to say about it.
What else can I look into to get more acquainted with the community / development process?
https://github.com/opensuse is where almost all the development happens, check that out. For general distro related development, opensuse-factory and opensuse-packaging are the mailing lists For OBS, we have the opensuse-buildservice mailing list (not sure about the address though) All the best, looking forward to your contributions and proposals.
-My background-
I have programmed with C, Perl, Python, Processing and Shell Scripts. I built a game for the Intel Perceptual Computing Challenge-2013 [4] and have experience with development for the Beagleboard and Pandaboard. I have also been able to write simple character device drivers for Linux, using Greg K-H's Linux Device Drivers as a guide. I have been an open source user for a long time, and have a commit integrated into GNOME's Anjuta IDE [5]
I recently worked on testing the effectiveness of random number generators on a virtual machine with qemu.[6]
I also have a fair know-how of git.
