Greetings, all. I am a graduate student studying Information Technology in Ireland, and I'm applying for this year's GSoC to work with the openSUSE community. I would like to take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself and the project. The project I hope to work on is "Improving the MongoDB Destination Driver for syslog-ng." As you know, syslog-ng, the leading logging platform for log collection and management, has been storing logs in MongoDB for quite a while, but due to a lack of thorough technical documentation on the implementation details, it's been challenging to improve the driver's functionality and speed. The goal of this project is to enhance the MongoDB destination driver for syslog-ng, to make it more robust, scalable and performant. One of the major tasks is to convert 'upserts' to 'inserts', which would make it possible to introduce support for inserting messages in bulk, further reducing the load on the database, and slightly reducing network traffic too. My application on melange is here: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/ekyung/1 Comments and feedback are always welcome. I'm confident that I will complete this project successfully and push my technical skills to the next level. I look forward to joining the awesome openSUSE community!
