So let me introduce=20 myself:) My name is V=ED=BBa Vom=E1=E8ko (maybe some letters are strange to you= :), 21=20 years old, from Czech Republic I have experience with building embedded systems based on Gentoo=20 (experience 4+ years) - routers for wisp's . A lot of minimalizations,=20 hardening, filesystem protection, ram drives, monitoring of them,=20 dnsmasq, firewalls, shaping and also automation for it. I am also quite=20 interested in projects like vyatta and their integration. Currently I am=20 looking at embedded platforms like wrap, router board. I have also some=20 experience with GNAP but worked on my own solution ( 100MB distro,=20 openssh with hpn patchset instead of dropbear, full perl, python etc.) =20 I am studying University of economics, faculty of informatics and=20 statistics and also work part-time at Sun Microsystems CR, Systems-group=20 - ISV integration, but I will have a lot of free time for investigate=20 into SoC. I have some ideas, based on Jos=E9 Alberto's, Philipp Riegger's and mine,= =20 as a newcomer (may not be suitable for project, may be too long term ).=20 So please tell me what seems to be good and what is totally rubbish:D * bug fixing (less bug, will report; cdrtools collision, a lot of bugs opened) * wrap,router board enhancements ( i will have direct access to it) * glsa checks for your overlay (to be sure, that there is now critical security bug in your gnap devices) * overall upgrade of gnap core (new snapshot, gnap core..., move to gnap 2.1 release and continue) * interactive setup ( to be even easier to use for beginners, answers some questions and build what is needed) * CLI (inspired by vyatta project, would be nice to share code, provides great management ability) and web interface for basic changes (networking, firmware upgrades) (definitely try to use=20 and edit code from other similar projects, use existing frameworks) * unionfs, support (I know that second guy would like to work on it) * =20 * live formware upgrade * use new catalyst (don't know exactly problems connected to it) * extensions installation made easier (maybe to have basic extensions available on the internet and automatically get them) * look at cross compiling ( I have some experience, so know that its difficult, so sth.that could be done in shorter terms) * work on selected issues from Phillips's ideas ( http://archives.gentoo.org/gnap-dev/msg_01d6ef92bb66927018b41314628= 08391.xml ) Definitely I'd like to continue after SoC finishes. SO since tomorrow is=20 deadline:( try to comment it asap, I will be very happy of your comments. ~vv --=20 gnap-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
