Breaking the Silence !

This blog has been silent for so many months, couldnt really write or post something useful so i thought i should break the silence by starting to write some cool stuff.

What am i upto these days !!!

Its been quite some time close to a month since i wrote something. Well I have been reading some stuff on the kernel especially on the Networking subystem on the packet flow. I am trying to integrate RIP into the kernel as a kernel module. Should be a real good and challenging experience and also trying to have VRF support in the kernel.

Oh Wait ! that reminds me of the write up that i wrote on Networking which is uploaded to the Kernelnewbies.org wiki

Looks Interesting.I hope to add more into the wiki in the near future.

Fedora-Student Partnership Programme

The Fedora-Student mentor programme is a programme targeted towards the college students to help them work on a project of their choice for fedora.This helps fedora and the college students who get to work on one of the most successful open source projects. This Programme is an extension of the Fedora Mentor Programme that's already available. I hope this programme takes off well and helps the student and the fedora community.

Moving User Wiki Pages to the New Wiki format - Phase II

I have already written about moving the user wiki pages to the new wiki style. I am doing it in a phase wise approach and hence the second cycle is completed and i have moved the following locations, though i couldn't find the FAS ID for some ambassadors hence those people could just move their user pages respectively. The following is the list

• Central America
• Central Asia
• Eastern Asia
• Australia and New Zealand
  

Ambassadors in these locations move your wiki pages to the new wiki.

More updates soon
