Hi,

I am taking this as an opportunity to introduce myself to everyone in the community. I got a bit late as I was busy in relocating back and finishing college paper work. Sorry for it ;-)

I am Ankush Sharma (black-perl) from India. I contributed to Mailman last year. So, I will be working on the Automation Release project for syslog-ng this time. The project will mostly involve Python usage and Flask/Django later on. 

The potential areas where any feature owner can look into are:

1) Web interface: An experimental web interface to track things during the release automation cycle would be handy. I am considering to use Flask/Django (web frameworks of Python) for it. You can suggest integrations to it or information you would like to see on the interface.

2) Overall architecture: We can discuss the flow from user perspective as well as the architectural view of the tool and you can suggest changes to it ;-)

Here is the link to the intro post : http://black-perl.in/black-perl-gsoc-with-syslog-ng/ . You can find a brief introduction to the project here and links to the detailed proposal.

I would love to talk to other guys who will be working throughout the summers as part of the GSoC program: @litterbear, @kvch, @PoOwAa, @Vithulan. It would be great if we can have chat sometime and get to know about each others' work ! 

Thanks !
