Dear OpenAFS Development Team,
I hope this email finds you well. I am a B.Tech student at SPPU University,
Pune, India, eager to contribute to OpenAFS through GSoC 2025. I am
strongly interested in distributed file systems and have worked on projects
involving command-line tool development, JSON processing, and automation.
I designed an offline parallel antivirus pipeline leveraging C programming,
distributed processing, and automated scanning workflows, gaining deep
expertise in scalable system design, structured data handling, and
automation. Additionally, I developed a GIS-based web application using
PostgreSQL and PostGIS, refining my skills in JSON data parsing, efficient
data processing, and CLI-based tool development. Through these projects, I
have built a strong foundation in scripting, automation concepts, and
command-line interface (CLI) design principles, making my skill set highly
aligned with OpenAFS=E2=80=99s technical requirements and objectives.
Leveraging my expertise in C, JSON processing, and scripting, I am excited
to contribute to the "Enhance OpenAFS Command-Line Tools with JSON Output"
project. By integrating structured JSON output, this enhancement will
streamline automation, improve interoperability, and simplify integration,
making OpenAFS more adaptable and efficient for modern workflows.
I would appreciate your guidance on:
1. Gaining a deeper understanding of OpenAFS=E2=80=99s CLI architecture and=
best
practices for integrating JSON output.
2. Relevant discussions, design references, or documentation that outline
existing considerations for this enhancement.
3. Identifying suitable entry points in the codebase, including
beginner-friendly issues to explore.
I look forward to contributing and learning from the OpenAFS community.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Mrunal Mehar
