Hi,
I got a project idea (see below) from Shilp Dixit for the Google Summer
of Code 2009 through the general contact address
[email protected].
It seems to be a kernel-related project and now I would like that
someone reviews the suggestion and if he thinks that it is interesting
offers his mentorship. Please also feel free to ask Shilp for further
information.

Greetings!
I am a third year engineering student from India and am
very enthusiastic about getting into source development.
This is my first year at Google Summer of Code ( considering i get
selected!...)
I want to develop a GUI based Linux-remastering tool as a my Google
Summer of Code project. This application will enable even non-tech users
to create their own personalized versions of the operating system. I am
very enthusiastic about the project and guarantee that I will take full
responsibility for the project.
I have been looking for an opportunity to gain entry into open source
development and this will be a great chance that I do not want to squander.
I have subsrcibed to the IRC channel under the nickname "rST" ... Please
feel free to ask me anything related to the project or anything about me.
Shilp
(P.S : I am attaching my resume )

Greetings!
This is with reference to my earlier mail about the GUI
based Linux rematering tool. I have prepared the project details and
also the use cases of the project.
I will be preparing the subversion snapshot of the application very soon
but was hoping for some extra time as I am studying for my GRE which is
on the 6th of april... I am very keen on developing this project so
please do not take this as an excuse to turn away from work.

I don't see how this relates to the kernel at all, as you can do this
already with no changes needed to the kernel.
Or am I missing something here?
I think others have already done this very thing, Shilp, how does this
differ from offerings like the opensuse build system, and the different
tools out there that will build a distro "on demand" from what you ask
it to include (rPath, suse studio, knopix, etc.)
thanks,

Shouldn't stuff like this go through the "normal" process that mentors
of GSoC use to choose projects and students?
I thought that was what the whole "review and score" system that Google
sets up on the web for the projects to use was for.
thanks,
