Welcome to Koozali SME Server!In 2025 Koozali is considering applying to mentor one or more projects for Google Summer of Code.
Koozali SME is a linux server with a perl based management system. Previously it was based on Redhat, then CentOS, and now moving to Rocky Linux.
GSoC is designed for 'beginners' Some knowledge of Linux server management, perl and mojolicious will be important. We are also looking at some form of AI/LLM integration as well so knowledge of that aspect will be also be vital.
