This page details my proposal for the Fedora Medical GSoC project

Contact Information

All relevant contact information can be found on my user page.

Deliverables

  • Inclusion of packages to the fedora repos.
  • Easy installation of packages using the default package manager (yum/packagekit).
  • In the long run : A fedora medical spin with all of the important packages included.

Intended workflow

  • Start by checking the current status of the review queue
  • Package the more important applications first.
  • Packaging implies the following:
    • Make an rpm package (I'll do this)
    • Submit a review request (I'll do this)
    • Approve package (A reviewer needs to do this : takes maximum time)
    • Add package to comps (I'll do this)
  • Easily installable PACS and DICOM viewers are higher priority.
  • Instead of submitting one review per week, in sequence, I'll submit many in parallel in a period over 2-3 weeks. This way, we won't need to wait on one package before diving into another.
  • I will have maximum time to work on this during May, the whole of June, July. End of July and August will be just a little restricted.

Timeline

I've divided the 4 month period into 4 milestones. This will be discussed with my mentor and edited as required.

Start date End date Goal Details Comments
May 23 May 30 Check up, update and review currently open review requests bugs : gnumed server, rhbug:573910, rhbug:539387, elastix, praat, ledgersmb, InsightApplications, vxl, InsightToolkit, (others?) Start with housekeeping. This would also give us a good idea of the current status of packages
May 31 June 15 Package dcm4che Initially, it was decided to package mayam, but dcm4che contains more than just that apparently and needs looking into. https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/medical-sig/2011-March/000128.html. It's one of the larger packages so I've conservatively assigned two weeks to it.
June 16 June 23 Package conquest, cmedic These are the last two PACS that we currently have on the list.
June 24 July 1 Package ginkocadx One of the higher priority dicom viewers
