About project

Summary of idea: Handy graphical tool for archiving settings of desktop applications. This tool will be useful for users who:

  • want to simply backup / restore look-and-feel and settings of desktop applications;
  • frequently migrate from one distribution to another;
  • have more then one device and want to sync settings.

Project shortinfo - Summer Coding 2010 ideas - Kronikarz - shortinfo

The idea is to develop a simple tool to archive settings and possibility to reuse this settings on any distro.

Timeline
  • week 1 — matching of technical tasks, determination of participant's roles
  • week 2 - week 4 — realization of backend with backup / restore functional
  • week 5 - week 7 — realization of frontend of basic GUI-application (draft)
  • week 8 — realization of frontend of service/daemon (draft)
  • week 9 - week 10 — debugging
  • week 11 — final testing, creation of rpm-package.

My background

  1. I am a fourth year undergraduate student of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India.
  2. I haven't contributed to open source before, and look at this as my first taste to open source development. However, I have done some projects as a part of my academic curriculum.
    • A minimal processor. [Verilog] (as a group of 2)
    • A compiler in C using Flex and Bison for a toy language.
    • Simulation of a file system. [C++] (as a group of 2)
    • HTTP server, client, proxy server, and DNS server. [C++] (as a group of 2)
    • Chat server and client (as a group of 2)
    • The code for the Chat Server and simulation of a file system can be found at http://github.com/NOLFXceptMe , my groupmate's.
    • I am pretty confident about this project, and I think I can complete it.

Me and the community

  1. If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Fedora community?
    • Users can backup and restore settings across different systems and distributions easily.
    • Users can sync settings across different systems.
  2. What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?
    • I will try to solve the problem myself, else I'll leave the problem for the time being and work on a different module until my mentor is available. If my mentor is away for an extended period of time, I will ask the Fedora community for suggestions and possible solutions.
