Its been like ages when I am writing something over here. It was during GSOC time that I posted something. Well better late then never :) So here I am back again to dreamwidth with the same zeal and enthusiasm. Now I am gonna make this place for my techie stuffs i.e kind of my workplace type. After being not selected as a google summer of code student, I was a bit disappointed initially (quite obvious) but sooner realizes that Its just the beginning, there is still lots more to come. With this failure I must say I've learnt a lot, gained such a nice experience and get to know about this really interesting community. One thing that I would like to include here is that I had a gala time playing games on #dreamwidth-games. That was really fun. There are lots more memories of this kind. Thanks dreamwidth for providing me with such memories and a great experience so far. :) I am making this post quite short as I have my exams next week, have to study for them too.
Google Summer Of Code
Apr. 7th, 2010 02:43 pmFor the last few days I was busy with the scratch installation of dreamwidth on fedora. But now when its done so it feels great to me. I have been there on #dw and the community helped me whenever i needed it. I must say the community is really helpful and supportive. It provides you with the perfect ambience in which you can work and give the best in you. Now I am applying for Production Monitoring which comes under System Administration as my Gsoc project. I am choosing this project as system administration is something which admires me a lot. I feel that this is the backbone for any running website or system. Apart from that I have also cleared Red Hat Certification Engineer Certification Examination in November 2009, and so I am comfortable enough to deal with servers and configuring them. I want to apply my existing knowledge as well as eager and learning new stuffs like cacti and nagios which are the standard industry environment and are used by dreamwidth. As for now that I don't have much idea about them so my approach is to prepare some basic shell scripts and implementing them on cacti.
Now I am writing my proposal for Gsoc and will post that soon( as now only 2 days are left :P). I have some small doubt what are the things that I need to cover in the project abstact section. Does that include my working strategy and the overall schedule, actually i am a bit confused that to what extend do i need to mention in this section and to include what else. I am looking forward for the community review so that I shall include those features too. Your suggestions are always welcomed. :)

First Entry
Mar. 24th, 2010 04:39 amHi everyone out here on dream width. This is my entry in this journal. Its really a great feeling to be here on dream width. At the moment I am a newbie kind of to this community, but thats how the it begins. In fact a journey of thousand miles also begins with a single step. And I am all set to understand and learn about all this stuff. Right now I am trying to make the scratch installation of dream width possible on my fedora system. There are some issues regarding perl modules and dependencies and fedora also doesn't provide them all. I am trying that it should be made possible on fedora too. Lets see if that works.
Well this is it for now. Will keep on posting now :)
