Hello,
My name is Mohamed Hesham. I am senior student at faculty of Engineering Ain shams university in Egypt.
I am a fedora user and I have noticed when building this project on my device that this project does not have a documentation file that is related on how to build it on fedora. Its a little bit different on fedora than ubuntu and I also noticed that there is some missing packages that were not documented  in the linux file. however I managed to make a documentation file on how to build in fedora. can I edit the README.linux file and document the missing steps on building the project on fedora

even better, make a dedicated README.fedora, and send a pull request on github. it will be very much welcome.

Maybe you are also able to improve that wiki if you might have the time and want to spend the effort

Actually I am looking forward to participating in GSOC this year. I am really interested in your projects as I see my skills can match your requirements and I would be happy to participate. Do you have any advises for me ?

I don't have any advices for you in relation to GSOC as I'm neither a mentor nor a developer at all. For our GSOC proposals please read:

sorry for posting the link late but that's my file on how to build it if  you are a Fedroa user. Last section of the  installing part is common between all Linux distributions.I took it from the original README.Linux file. If you have any comments for me.
