Dear all, I have proposed the integration of proxy settings into NetworkManager as a GSoC project for Fedora[1]; which is in concept very similar to the recent integration of firewalld and NeworkManager where different firewall settings can be associated to each connection. More generally, it is about having different "network profiles" for each connection. Also, it suggests using DHCP information for wired connections to distinguish between different wired connections (the same role that ESSID plays for wireless connections). This year, there are several students interested in this idea, but it doesn't have any mentors. I might be able to apply as a mentor, but I'm not familiar with NetworkManager code base and therefore, I'm not very suitable to be the mentor. So, I was suggested to see if there is anybody from NM development team willing to be a co-mentor for this idea so that (s)he can help with the mentoring. The other co-mentor would be me. I am a developer so I will try to help as much as possible. Any volunteers? :P Regards, Hedayat [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2013#Integrate_Proxy_Settings_and_Network_Connections.28Locations.29 |
