Are you a GSOC student or mentor? Have questions? Contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]].= About Amahi=
If you are interested We're looking for students with skills in being a mentorthese areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, we have six great mentors python, PHP, as well as of todaynext generation technologies, but like Go (we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.
If you are '''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a student, come talk to us about the ideas below Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for possible projectsAmahi! Don't forget that these are subject to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Even new ideas will be considered. Some of these ideas are more mature and concrete than others.''
The '''most important thing''' is Amahi started of a need to find an '''area that you enjoy''keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, using a programming language that you know or are willing from anything to doing backups to learn!automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.
=List Amahi is a full and proper server made up of Project Ideas=* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].
== Platform ==At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.
===Plugin System==What to do (and NOT do) first =
Let's talk about what NOT to do first, because many people automatically start badly by doing these:* do '''not''' comment randomly in github issues, e.g. introducing yourself in a GH issue, saying you would like to do something, or just "make noise"* do ''Description'not'': Make the ability ' blindly try to create build things without understanding what Amahi is and install Amahi plugins easy what it does* do '''not''' just submit a pull request or issue a bug without really knowing what you are up to* do '''not''' just come to IRC, say something and enable the creation of those plugins vanish shortly thereafter. Stay for a variety of purposes, like SMART monitoring, system stuff (network scanning, etcwhile. People come and go.) Ask your question and the two examples below stick around. Get a client that can linger for the disk wizard and the Greyhole UI, among other ideasa while.Sometimes it takes hours for some people to return
'''Objective''': Create an amahi plugin system, where PHP, PythonBUT First, NodeIntroduce yourself, and other modern webapps can be easily integrated. We can currently do this interact with some RoR enginesthe community, but the mechanism is not robust enoughso please [https://docs.

We want easy disk/partition onboarding.Also add the ability to be asked to mount USB drives as a share when they're connected & connect external shares from for example a NAS with the plugin system using that wizard.Project Ideas=
'''Objective''': Create an amahi plugin that will streamline this process by providing a UI for disk managementWe have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order.

The purpose of this plugin is to provide a UI and the necessary tools under the UI to make starting and managing a Greyhole UI possible and nice to understand for regular humans.
'''Objective''': Create and amahi plugin that provides an UI that allows for the management of the greyhole pool. The plugin should allow an administrator user to:
add/remove disks to/from the pool.
* change the number of copies for individual file/directory
* invoke various gh commands

'''MentorDescription''': Rod, Daniel[[Amahi 12]] is our next release.
==Mobile=='''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:
Mobile is a great topic * make platform even more modular and cleaner (at the moment and there we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are a lot in controllers/views of opportunities here. In the Android main app)* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, definitely could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others* better initialization ... like a more than one student standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are suitable for no users, we need to create an admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)* Implement sharing of folders among the projectfriend servers.
