[lime-dev] GSoC project

Dear all, as some may know I've been working last year [1] in GSoC and like to repeat that. I checked the Freifunk project page [2] and found the following project of LibreMesh I liked most: LibreNet6 integration [3]. As discussed on GitHub [4] wireguard [5] could be a slim & fast replacement for Tinc. Problem is the missing auto provisioning of the clients, as stated on the official website as well [6]. I came up with a small PoC [7] as a centralized solution for the following tasks: * Granting administrators/supporters device access to help with network issues * Secure connection over an unencrypted mesh network * Offer public IPv4/6 to routers A second approach could be to use bmx7-sms plugin to distribute public keys within the mesh and enable not only the three points above but also secure connections between all nodes. The second approach may become obsolete as bmx7 might use `ip xfrm` [8] to encrypt tunnels directly. I'm aware that focus shouldn't be the coolest project but the one most usable for the (Libre)Mesh community. So please share you thoughts if you find other (not listed) project ideas I could work on. Please keep in mind the deadline to apply is within the next weeks.
