[apparmor] [opensuse-project] Google Summer of Code'13 accepted student

Thu Jun 6 18:47:37 UTC 2013

Hello,

I've setup the wiki page for the project [
http://wiki.apparmor.net/index.php/Profile_Management_Tools], it'd be nice
if some-one could just scroll through the page. I'll update the blog link
once, I have an initial post ready for the project.

@Christian please add your profile link with your name and maybe your IRC
nick too.

@John , @Christian also you can fill out the schedule for weekly meetings.

The updated config.py using the ConfigParser module will also be updated in
a few hours.

Regards,

Kshitij Gupta
