Kanidm (2024) about mentoring HOT 23 OPEN

Hey @Firstyear and @ddemaio! My name is Christopher. I'm studying Computer Science & Engineering in Denmark. :)
Very interesting project! My plan is to start contributing and look into the project ideas. Looking forward to collaborate!

Hi @harshalmittal4 These are listed here for GSoC. @Firstyear can provide input. I do the admin for GSoC. Great to see your interest in the project.

Hello @Firstyear , I came across this project in Gsoc 2023 under openSUSE and it seems quite interesting to me. I have intermediate knowledge in rust and mysql expertise in solving algorithmic problems.

I would like to work on Rust FFI for RADIUS and Identity verification.

from mentoring.

Hi @ddemaio, @Firstyear! I'm currently attending the second year of my CS bachelor, and I came across this project as part of the GSOC 2023. I would really enjoy contributing, specifically in the Identity Verification area, as I'm especially interested in rust and cybersecurity! I have some practical experience with the former, as I took a class where we had a class-wide W3C working group style project (see https://github.com/Stypox/PARSE-market.git). I also expect to gain more expertise in the latter as I'm participating in a national cybersecurity project this semester (https://cyberchallenge.it/).
I'll now start to look into the issues and see how I can help!

Sure, please get in touch on the issue or the community chat channel, it's listed in the readme.

Hello @ddemaio @Firstyear, my name is Minh and I came here from GSOC. I have working knowledge of Rust and SQL, having used them in various projects. I found this project very interesting and would love to contribute to it!

Hello @Firstyear , @ddemaio , I am exploring this project and found it interesting. I wish to contribute to this idea as part of GSoC, could you please tell if it's for GSoC.
Can you also please help me with finding some specific issues that I must start with. I found this issue on checking the good-first-issues and wished to get more context about which profile page need to be updated.

Thanks!

Thank you @ddemaio, hey @Firstyear looking forward to your advice!

from mentoring.

@harshalmittal4 I'd rather you try to understand what the project does and how it works first before trying to solve issues, so please have a look through the project spec here again and setup an instance first.

from mentoring.

Hello @Firstyear. Thanks for pointing me to this project. I have to explore around the project and issue tracker that fits my skill level. I am pinging @rv178 since this is a friend of mine who has more potential than me and has experience in Rust. I want him to join GSoC too in case he is interested 🥰

Anyway, looking forward to contribute but first I am going to read and understand the idea of this project. ❤️

from mentoring.

Thanks @Firstyear. I will set it up first, was going through the kanidm docs.

Hello @Firstyear, @ddemaio, I was going through this project and found it interesting. I wish to contribute to this idea as part of GSoC. I have good knowledge of Rust programming language as I have previously contributed to the Summer of Bitcoin'21. As of now, I am trying to understand what the project does. I am personally greatly interested in this project and keen to work under your guidance.
Thanks.

I tried to fix #1359, I hope it follow all the guidelines! (Btw I was unsure whether merging with upstream before making the PR or leaving it as it was, at the end I merged, I hope it's okay)

I've commented on the PR

Hey @Firstyear @ddemaio, I have been going through the OpenSUSE Project for a while now to get into the GSOC 2024. I found this project to be the one that I would like to work on. Since this project is related to authentication which coincides with my CyberSecurity Domain (which I have been self-studying for almost a year now) as well as it has its codebase in RUST that I am currently working on. I have a working understanding of databases as I manage the system design for my organisation, so working on authentication systems would be of interest.

from mentoring.

I haven't yet committed to GSoC 2024, so I can't really comment on this right now. This was about the 2023 program. Sorry.

from mentoring.

No worries will see you in GSOC 2024. I think it's nice to start early.

from mentoring.

I'm not even sure I'm going to mentor in 2024, so I think you're way too early here 😅 There are other ways to contribute to projects that aren't just gsoc I hope you know.

from mentoring.

Yes, I am aware of the contributions that I can make, which aren't GSOC related. I am actually new to the Open Source Community and will look forward to making good contributions. I am going through the docs as well as the source code. I also went through your conference videos on Kanidm on the OpenSUSE channel. It was awesome learning from you about the past authentication solutions and the difference that Kanidm is making by solving the flaws they had. (big fan of the SSH authentication mechanism with QR code, I never thought something like that!)

Have a look at our developer guide ( https://kanidm.github.io/kanidm/stable/DEVELOPER_README.html ) and also the matrix room ( https://gitter.im/kanidm/community )

from mentoring.

Sure, will have a look at it.

Hey @Firstyear,
I'm Ansah, a CS undergrad keen on the tech side of projects. Discovered Kanidm for GSoC 2024, and it's caught my eye.

I've got a basic handle on Rust and solid DB experience (SQL, NoSQL).I have Previously been a QAMP Mentorship, Qhack2024 and has contributed to Appflowy. Your guidance would mean a lot as I dive in!.

Hi there,

Please have a look at and follow the guide in the issue description to get started, the project readme and developer guides especially.
