Introduction of squimrel, a summer of code participant

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm a nobody who accomplished nothing in life.  You may call me squimrel.

As the title suggests I'll write source code this summer.  Specifically I'll
work on the [Fedora Media Writer
project](<https://github.com/MartinBriza/MediaWriter/>) which is able to write
live Fedora images on portable media devices.

One (me) should make it possible so that the images on the portable drives have
persistent storage enabled.  This will be achieved by modifying two
configuration files and adding another partition for persistent storage.

It's not clear how exactly the program should modify the configuration files on
the live image in which the flags for persistent storage can be set yet.
[There are multiple approaches](<https://medium.com/@squimrel/caeb668848>) and
every single one of them comes with different challenges about which I'll talk
on [my Blog](<https://medium.com/@squimrel>) when I face them.

It's doesn't have to be said that making this work on Windows and Mac comes as
an extra challenge itself.

I'm a bit uncertain how this project will work out but I'm confident that
source code will be written and that I'll learn a lot about accomplishing this
task using C++.

If you wish to know more about me, my "experience", etc. you can read [my
summer coding application at the Fedora Project
Wiki](<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSOC_2017/Student_Application_squimrel>).
