What attracts you about Debian? : I was introduced to the world of linux and free software through the Debian OS which my dad had installed in our home pc. I learnt my first command 'cd' from my dad and remember impressing my teacher in 8th grade with it.

Student Application Template

To fill this in, copy the source text. Please don't rename the template.

This is a suggestion for the kind of information we'll find useful from students in their submissions. Remember -- you're going to be committing to several months' work. The more information and planning you can provide up-front, the more we (and Google!) will have to go on when we're ranking your application. Do not forget adding your submission at SummerOfCode2015/StudentApplications

  • Name : Keerthana Krishnan

  • Contact/Email/IRC nick: where can we contact you? (IRC/IM details too, if available. We will also privately request your phone contact at some point.) : contactkeerthana@gmail.com

  • Background: something about yourself: technical skills, experience, etc. Who are you? What makes you the best person to work on this project? :

  • Project title : Developer Dashboard

  • Project details: a more detailed description

  • Synopsis: a short description.

  • Benefits to Debian

  • Deliverables: quantifiable results e.g. 'Port Debian to VAX', 'Write 3 articles for X website'.

  • Project schedule: how long will the project take? When can you begin work? : Can begin work from May 16th. Project can be finished by August 25th.

  • Exams and other commitments: do you have university exams inside the SoC period? If so, that's most likely not a problem but please tell us early! : As of now, no exams have been scheduled by my university administrators inside the SoC period, but it may happen, will be sure to let the concerned authorities know if that is the case

  • Other summer plans: are you getting married? Do you have a long vacation planned? Are you expecting to start a job? Be aware that if you are accepted for the summer, then Google will be paying you as though you were working for them. We (in Debian) will therefore expect you to be working 35-40 hours per week on your project. It is very unlikely that you will be able to combine a successful SoC with another summer job working for somebody else : No other commitments for the summer

  • Why Debian?: Why are you choosing Debian? What attracts you about Debian? : I was introduced to the world of linux and free software through the Debian OS which my dad had installed in our home pc. I learnt my first command 'cd' from my dad and remember impressing my teacher in 8th grade with it. It was an awesome experience which made me want to find out more and got me interested in programming. The feeling I get every time I hit enter in a command it works, especially after wrestling with some error in some part for a long time, there's nothing like it. And then there's a large and incredibly supportive community to help you out.

  • Are you applying for other projects in SoC? Note that letting us know about this does not impact your chances of acceptance or rejection with us; we ask this because it helps us to resolve deduplications wherein a student is accepted for multiple projects : No. Not applying for any other project.
