Hello fellow GSoC'ers! |

|

My name is Devan Franchini, I'm a student at D'youville college, |
| 4 |
in Buffalo NY, where I am working on getting my bachelors degree in |
| 5 |
Information Technology under the study of Anthony Basile. I would like |
| 6 |
to work on the suggested project of improving Gentoo cloud support. |
| 7 |
This will require things such as adding support for creating AWS |
| 8 |
images for Gentoo into catalyst. In order to do that I'll need to |
| 9 |
learn to work with tools such as veewee and Vagrant, to allow building |
| 10 |
a pristine build of Gentoo which can then be distributed as AWS |
| 11 |
images. Once this is accomplished I can then implement that process |
| 12 |
into catalyst. This is useful because once this is implemented you can |
| 13 |
create images of Gentoo that can distributed through the cloud. |

About me: |

|

I'm from Tampa Florida but I have spent most of my childhood and |
| 19 |
life in Buffalo, NY where I am now. I love learning about the awesome |
| 20 |
things you can do with computers and the capabilities of finding new |
| 21 |
things, and fixing old ones. To me, knowledge is king and the most |
| 22 |
important thing. So when I have an experience where I can learn |
| 23 |
something I find interesting I typically have tunnel vision until I |
| 24 |
accomplish my goal. I am familiar with Java, python, and C; as well as |
| 25 |
some x86_64 and MIPS assembly. During my spare time I usually try and |
| 26 |
get something productive done such as bug fixes on the webapp-config |
| 27 |
package that Gentoo uses or writing ebuilds for packages that I use |
| 28 |
that aren't on the portage tree, such as Dolphin Emulator. The |
| 29 |
webapp-config program is used to set up web applications on Gentoo |
| 30 |
systems using portage and Dolphin Emulator is a gamecube and Wii |
| 31 |
emulator. This will be my second proposal for Google Summer of Code. |
| 32 |
My previous one was the SELinux Policy Originator that I worked on |
| 33 |
under the guidance of Sven Vermeulen. During my last GSoC I immersed |
| 34 |
myself in the world of Gentoo Linux. I was unfamiliar with the entire |
| 35 |
OS and how it worked; or how to even install it. Since then I have |
| 36 |
learned a lot about Gentoo and plan on working to become a Gentoo |
| 37 |
developer. |
