Internet Conference - 2013

In 9-11 December, Internet conference was organized eighteenth time in Turkey. I could join just last day. I listened two panels. Also I made the presentation with Tülin. We mentioned about "How can we contribute to Linux Kernel?" 

I contributed to Linux Kernel this year, and Tülin interned at Gnome Opw last summer. She has studied about Linux Kernel during internship. So we told our experince about Linux Kernel hacking. We mentioned about mutt usage, git tips, patch file format, sparse, checkpatch.pl.

We prepared a report that includes what we talked about at presentation. You can read it from here and also watch a video from here.

Getting Notification From Watchdog

Nowadays, I've use Watchdog which runs as a deamon. We can monitor something in system using Watchdog. I used Watchdog Python modul for my project. I monitor file changes.

I think, Watchdog has lack functional features. For example; I move file from watched directory to outside monitored directories, watchdog doesn't trigger any event. And when I modified any file in monitored directory, it triggers "deleted, created, modified" events. But it should trigger only "modify" events. About same lacks there are opened issues in github repo.

I used watchdog in two projects. One of them sends email notification when any file or directory changes in "/etc". You can see it here. Also, I didn't any contribute to watchdog yet but I think contribute to watchdog.
