Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
My name is Pavlos Ratis and I go by the nickname of dastergon. I am an |
| 4 |
undergraduate student of Informatics and Communications in the |
| 5 |
Technical Educational Institute of Serres, Greece. I’ve been using |
| 6 |
Gentoo since 2008 or so. Now I am an official and active Gentoo |
| 7 |
developer where I work with various packages and web applications in |
| 8 |
Gentoo. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I am interested in working on the "identity.gentoo.org" GSoC idea[1] |
| 11 |
which is an LDAP front end web interface that will allow both Gentoo |
| 12 |
developers and users to configure easily their attributes from |
| 13 |
Gentoo’s LDAP server. This project is based on a previous GSoC project |
| 14 |
codenamed ‘Okupy’[2], which is an LDAP authentication web UI. The web |
| 15 |
application will be for general usage and not only for LDAP |
| 16 |
administrators or system admins. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The web app will parse the ACL from LDAP and it will provide a web UI |
| 19 |
that will allow users to easily edit the LDAP attributes. Primary |
| 20 |
goals for this web application are to improve user experience to |
| 21 |
manage LDAP attributes, to help recruiters and mentors manage their |
| 22 |
mentees and to reduce workload for sysadmins. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
You can find my proposal here[3]. I'm open to constructive criticism |
| 25 |
and suggestions for improvements. |

Looking forward to your replies. |
