Hello! Thank you for your interest in our IPMI data center project. What
sort of projects have you use the python IPMI libraries for in the past? As
for a task, I think showing how you can use the pyipmi library to interface
with a machine via its serial or vga console and controlling its power.
Even a simple command line tool is good. Beyond that what this project is
about is having a central place to connect to any device that you store in
the system in an easy fashion.

Feel free to join us in #osuosl-gsoc on Freenode if you want to interact
with us in real time. You can find me as Ramereth on there.

Thanks!
