Project Name
Firstboot Module
Project Description
Firstboot is the program that runs on the first boot of a Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux system that allows you to configure more things than the installer allows. The firstboot package asks the user specific questions when the system starts for the first time. Since Raspberry Pi systems are installed by copying the SD card, additional questions should be asked during the first boot -- for example, the root password and timezone should be set. This project involves writing and packaging additional modules for firstboot for use with the Raspi (and potentially other ARM systems).
Expected outcome: changes for firstboot committed upstream, or a package that extends firstboot packaged in Fedora.

Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:
- 0.1 Split work evenly between each other and learn to write with Python. Look at anaconda and examine its python script. Plan to release a test script.
- 0.2 Start having scripts ready and package to see if it performs its function. Plan to release test results.
- 0.3 Test package and see if it's usable. Plan to release package.
