Regarding GSoC
Hello everyone.
I am interested in participating in Google Summer
of Code this year and have a project that pertains to the distribution
of Debian over BitTorrent.This is somewhat a solution to the problem
posted on the Idea List page (http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2010/RobustBitTorrentInfrastructure)
I had written a technical paper about it, which explains in detail
as to how content distribution can be maximized in a BitTorrent
download.
I won't say that it would be the solution to all your
distribution problems, but yes - if implemented, Debian would be able to
reduce some of the downtime/ congestion it suffers when using
BitTorrent CDN.
If any mentor is interested, I can send over the paper; it has the
idea
explained in detail. After that, we can proceed accordingly.
