Potential Project List
| Project | Mentor(s) | Brief overview of project | Example of application task | Example of subtasks for the project |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sample Fedora | Fedora Mentorer | Make Fedora a better project | Fix bugs labeled easy fix in tracker (bug 123 and 456 as examples) | Get familiar with python, learn Fedora python APIs, write unit tests |
| 389 Directory Server: developing administrative tools | William Brown (UTC+10)(#389 wibrown, wibrown at redhat dot com) | 389 Directory Server is an enterprise class LDAP server, used in businesses globally to authenticate and identify people.

The projects tasks would be to improve the dsconf and dsidm command line tools. Here is an example of one of the functions being added to the server by a past student.
This is the list of open dsconf tasks which you could choose to implement. Once you have completed some of these, we can expand the scope of the project to match your interests. Some other areas include:
