Self-Introduction: Sudhir

[sudhir h]

Hi All,
I'm Sudhir. I recently joined Bugzilla developers list. Though i haven't
used Bugzilla before in my work, my main purpose is to learn, understand and
contribute to open source projects. This is my first open source project
participation ever. I want your valuable guidance to learn and enrich my
knowledge to become one among you and become an active member of Bugzilla
and open source community in large. Below are my brief introduction of
myself.
 I'm Sudhir. I live in Bangalore, India. I'm currently working as a software
engineer in Symphony Services Pvt. Ltd. I've completed my Bachelor Engg. in
Information Science. I've been working in software industry for about 5+
years now. In that 5+ years i got learn Perl and Java by doing various
projects. I'd done one project with Python initially in my first company.
Currently I'm more comfortable with perl and java than python. Below are
some of the projects which i participated during my 5+ years of profession.

Server Statistics:
language used: Perl
database: MS Access
 platform: windows xp.
This is a CGI based web application wherein the purpose of the tool was to
show some sort of statistics of the two build server.
 Here i was supposed to parse 2 xml files(build results on 2 seperate
server) and findout the diff of 2 same projects(build on 2 seperate server)
and show the results. Later this results had to be stored in database for
the managers to analyze the history of the project. This also featured
showing a graff of failed no. of projects in a week span on the 2 build
server.
 Scenario Based Replication:
backend: Perl
frontend: WendynPro(an SAP's proprietary framework for implementing
frontend) and java
 replication tool: rsync
Platform: linux.
This is generally a replication tool for distribute development environment
where developers(across the world) can configure their replication request
and replication admins then approve the replication.
 The purpose was eliminate developer's(in india, israel, palo alto etc.)
build time as against the main production server(in germany)
This had 3 main parts,
 - webinterface(or frontend, where developers configure their request)
implemented using webdyn pro,
- the config-generator, a tool written in perl to generate configurable
replication request file with each dependency-file's very basic stats, like
last modified date and time, filesize. This configuration file stored in
main production server.
 - actual replicator, this tool will be installed in various
replication-needed-location's production server(eg: bangalore, israel, palo
alto, sofia etc.). This tool will poll main prodcution server for new req
file in some interval period. If present it evaluates each dependency file,
and determine whether that file is needed for replication(by comparing its
last modified date locally against one in the configuration file) and create
a well balanced rsync input file. "Well balaced" meaning if the client
production server is configured to run 10 rsync commands parallely then each
rsync commands should get a fair amount of bytes to download. For eg: 500MB
each or something similar. Unlike 5Kb for one and 1GB for another. Though
the later case is valid and sometimes unavoidable the tool tried to create a
input files with evenly distributed dependency files to download. Then
replicate dependency files using rsync to respective client production
server.

Online courses:
backend: Perl and Java
frontend: PHP, flash
 This product is aimed at providing enough knowledge on ethics and culture
in corporate offices. Like anti bribary, anti trust sexual harassment. The
customers will have their own admins to manage this for their company. The
courses are built with rich html(audio, video, flash). This also has a test
and certification. Admins will choose what courses are suitable for what
department of the company and assign those to them. Employees take online
course, take test.
 There is one base product of this online courses and others are mostly
different idea of the base product. Each is has its own purpose and
features. Best eg. of different product of the base is a product targeted
towards different level of users(mostly to top management), suggesting
courses(recommendation system using survey).
 In this project my contribution was write SOAP services in java, fixing
bugs related to base product whose backend is complete perl.

I'm currently reading https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Developers and
trying to setup my dev environment locally.
