Hello, everybody! My name is Sae Hun and I am a junior undergraduate Computer Science student interested in contributing to Fedora during this year's Google Summer of Code. My goal is to take this opportunity to learn more about Fedora and open source software development methodologies. I have experience with Java and C++ from my formal educational experience. I also have exposure to HTML/CSS/JavaScript from working on free online programs such as FreeCodeCamp. The course works and the little projects that I have done in order to better learn these languages can be seen on my GitHub linked below. With my limited experiences, I feel that I would be best suited to the 'Cockpit support for systemd timers' project. I look forward to working with the mentors and taking my first steps towards contributing to Fedora. Best Regards, Sae Hun Kim GitHub: https://www.github.com/kimsaehun
Welcome to the Fedora GSoC 2016 mailing list, Sae Hun! Glad to have you here.
Thanks for reaching out! That's awesome that you're wanting to get more involved with open source and Fedora. We're definitely willing to help you get started in your open source journey! That's also really cool that you've worked on some programs like FreeCodeCamp. Always nice to see a little humanitarian aspect worked in there. :)
Yes, Cockpit + systemd timers ARE listed as a GSoC project. Whether or not we get a slot for it will depend on a couple of things:
1) The number of mentors allocated to the project idea. 2) The number and strength of applicants we have applying for a slot. 3) The number of slots we are awarded by Google.The best way to ensure that we DO get a slot for it is to follow the procedure described at the bottom of the GSoC organization page.

You've already introduced yourself to the mailing list now, so that's
one item off your checklist. Next, you can begin frequenting the various
IRC channels (#fedora-summer-coding, #cockpit, etc.), and then work with
mentors to figure out your next steps. Additionally, there is a post on
the Fedora Community Blog that should help answer many of your questions
about what to do next.

Please give it a read if you have not already!
