Hi,
I am applying to the "Python Language Binding" project for syslog-ng in this years GSOC' 15. I am going through the incubator code which has basic implementations. I wanted to know what level of detail are you guys expecting in the proposal? Or if there is any specific task you would want to screen applicants?
As for myself, I am a second years Masters student at Georgia Tech. And have interfaced with quite a few things that are needed for this project.
- I, in a team of 3, led the development of a compiler for a toy programming language as a part of the class project. https://github.com/akashgangil/Tiger
- As a part of my research work, which deals with designing a data management and analytics system for scientific "big" data, I have also used Python/C Api, to allow writing plugins in python, which can be consumed by the system. https://github.com/akashgangil/khanEVPath
- I was also a GSOC student in 2009 for Tux4kids and a mentor in 2010 for the same. So I am pretty familiar with the program,
- Beside I have extensively used tools like logstash, elasticsearch in the past and appreciate the problems that are associated with log data management and processing. This is also one of the reasons the project interests me.
I am still going through the code and trying to get in more details for the proposal. Hoping to get something ready soon.
Thanks!
