User:Ankursinha/GSoC Fedora Medical proposal

Title
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
This will be discussed with my mentor and edited as required.
