Yes. I will hopefully keep contributing to the Fedora project after the GSoC 2013 program. I would like to contribute primarily to the Infrastructure team. Also, to the ARM team beginning by testing.

Please describe your proposal in detail. Include:
'''An overview of your proposal

The project idea is about building upon previous years work which was about 'Implementing an RHQ-agent in Python'. Right now, OpenLMI lacks a front-end and the task would be to refine the link between the PyAgent and OpenLMI which communicates via WBEM.

The RHQ agent is used to gather metrics from Fedora/RHEL hosts. This data will be then passed to an RHQ server via a REST api. The agent also needs to interface with OpenLMI. However, currently it lacks a front-end. Hopefully, this shall address the issue as far as RHQ is concerned.

Proposal Description

An overview of your proposal

The project idea is about building upon previous years work which was about 'Implementing an RHQ-agent in Python'. Right now, OpenLMI lacks a front-end and the task would be to refine the link between the PyAgent and OpenLMI which communicates via WBEM.

The need you believe it fulfills

The RHQ agent is used to gather metrics from Fedora/RHEL hosts. This data will be then passed to an RHQ server via a REST api. The agent also needs to interface with OpenLMI. However, currently it lacks a front-end. Hopefully, this shall address the issue as far as RHQ is concerned.

Any relevant experience you have

I have coded in Python before and done work which involved talking via REST and retrieving data.

How do you intend to implement your proposal

Final deliverable of the proposal at the end of the period

A rough timeline for your progress

Any other details you feel we should consider

Exams and other commitments

My college is about to end around mid-May with exams during the end. After that I have a two-month long vacation ;-).

Plans for holidays

None. GSoC will be my primary concern in the holidays in case I get selected.

Have you communicated with a potential mentor? If so, who?

Yes, I have been communicating with Heiko W. Rupp who is assigned as a mentor for the project; alongwith others at #rhq on Freenode.
