Hi, |
| 2 |
I am quite interested in your GNAP SoC 2008 project. So let me introduce |
| 3 |
myself:) |
| 4 |
My name is Ví»a Vomáèko (maybe some letters are strange to you:), 21 |
| 5 |
years old, from Czech Republic |
| 6 |
I have experience with building embedded systems based on Gentoo |
| 7 |
(experience 4+ years) - routers for wisp's . A lot of minimalizations, |
| 8 |
hardening, filesystem protection, ram drives, monitoring of them, |
| 9 |
dnsmasq, firewalls, shaping and also automation for it. I am also quite |
| 10 |
interested in projects like vyatta and their integration. Currently I am |
| 11 |
looking at embedded platforms like wrap, router board. I have also some |
| 12 |
experience with GNAP but worked on my own solution ( 100MB distro, |
| 13 |
openssh with hpn patchset instead of dropbear, full perl, python etc.) |
| 14 |
I am studying University of economics, faculty of informatics and |
| 15 |
statistics and also work part-time at Sun Microsystems CR, Systems-group |
| 16 |
- ISV integration, but I will have a lot of free time for investigate |
| 17 |
into SoC. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I have some ideas, based on José Alberto's, Philipp Riegger's and mine, |
| 20 |
as a newcomer (may not be suitable for project, may be too long term ). |
| 21 |
So please tell me what seems to be good and what is totally rubbish:D |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
* bug fixing (less bug, will report; cdrtools collision, a lot of |
| 24 |
bugs opened) |
| 25 |
* wrap,router board enhancements ( i will have direct access to it) |
| 26 |
* glsa checks for your overlay (to be sure, that there is now |
| 27 |
critical security bug in your gnap devices) |
| 28 |
* overall upgrade of gnap core (new snapshot, gnap core..., move to |
| 29 |
gnap 2.1 release and continue) |
| 30 |
* interactive setup ( to be even easier to use for beginners, |
| 31 |
answers some questions and build what is needed) |
| 32 |
* CLI (inspired by vyatta project, would be nice to share code, |
| 33 |
provides great management ability) and web interface for basic |
| 34 |
changes (networking, firmware upgrades) (definitely try to use |
| 35 |
and edit code from other similar projects, use existing frameworks) |
| 36 |
* unionfs, support (I know that second guy would like to work on it) |
| 37 |
* |
| 38 |
* live formware upgrade |
| 39 |
* use new catalyst (don't know exactly problems connected to it) |
| 40 |
* extensions installation made easier (maybe to have basic |
| 41 |
extensions available on the internet and automatically get them) |
| 42 |
* look at cross compiling ( I have some experience, so know that its |
| 43 |
difficult, so sth.that could be done in shorter terms) |
| 44 |
* work on selected issues from Phillips's ideas ( |

| 46 |
) |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Definitely I'd like to continue after SoC finishes. SO since tomorrow is |
| 49 |
deadline:( try to comment it asap, I will be very happy of your comments. |
