===== Michael Bushkov =====

===== Summer Of Code 2006 =====

My full project name is **Nss-LDAP importing and nsswitch subsystem improvement**.

Here is the original project's proposal: [[MichaelBushkov/LdapCachedOriginalProposal|LdapCachedOriginalProposal]].

This summer's work revealed a lot of interesting things that can be (and will be) done in the nearest time. The Summer of Code 2006 project, however, is completed - all proposed tasks are seem to be done. There is a lot of space for improvements in the completed tasks, though - so I guess, I know, how to spend nearest month or two :)

The **detailed description of the completed project** can be found here: [[MichaelBushkov/LdapCachedDetailedDescription|LdapCachedDetailedDescription]].

===== About me =====

I'm Michael Bushkov - and I'm lucky to be in the cohort of students, who'll participate in the Summer Of Code 2006. I'm a 4th (almost - a 5th) year student of the Rostov State University, Rostov-on-Don, Russia (by the way, Rostov-on-Don is the beautiful middle-sized city, situated in the Southern-European part of Russia). For several past years my professional life was deeply connected with %%FreeBSD%% administration and development. I work at the University's Computer Center, where I have all the necessary abilities and equipment (almost all University's servers run %%FreeBSD%%).

My basic projects for %%FreeBSD%% were lookupd daemon and caching daemon (cached). These projects have a bit similar functionality, but caching daemon is much more powerful and much more deeply integrated into the system. I was developing caching daemon during the Summer Of Code 2005, where I was also lucky enough to participate (big "thank you!" to BrooksDavis and **Jacques Vidrine**, who were my mentors on the project).

I was able to finally merge the code, I've developed during the %%SoC%% 2005, to the -CURRENT. This happened several weeks ago - thanks to HajimuUmemoto for that. Without his help this merging won't be possible. Hajimu also agreed to be my mentor for my current (%%SoC%% 2006) project.

===== Previous work (Summer Of Code 2005) =====

During the Summer Of Code I made several patches for the libc library to extend nsswitch subsystem. I have also added caching ability to nsswitch by developing caching library and caching daemon. Here is the slightly corrected text of the proposal, that I've initially submitted to Google: [[MichaelBushkov/NsswitchAndCachingOriginalProposal|NsswitchAndCachingOriginalProposal]].

The detailed description of the project can be found here: [[MichaelBushkov/NsswitchAndCachingTechnicalDetails|NsswitchAndCachingTechnicalDetails]].

After the deadline has finally arrived, I've made the final report about what had been done: [[MichaelBushkov/NsswitchAndCachingFinalReport|NsswitchAndCachingFinalReport]]

All my work, that was made during %%SoC%% 2005 and after can be found on the perforce depot: [[http://perforce.freebsd.org/depotTreeBrowser.cgi?FSPC=/depot/projects/soc2005/nsswitch%5fcached&HIDEDEL=YES|Sources]]
