Hey everyone!
I am Shivam Madlani, an undergraduate at DAIICT, India. I want to
participate in GSoC'23 for The GNU organization. The project "Decentralized
substitute distribution" in GUIX amused me and I want to apply for the
same. I have been in touch with the project mentor -pukkamustard for over a
month now and started learning more about the project. I'm very excited to
work on this project as it lies in my interests.

I've drafted a proposal on this project and I aim to add a transport
protocol-Sneakernet. This will allow the substitutes to be air-gappable. My
approach is to use SQLite to store the ERIS encoded substitute in the
external drive using a custom schema. This is just a brief overview of the
project and more details are included in the attached proposal.

I would love to hear your thoughts and reviews on my proposal and hopefully
improve it by filling in any missing key points.

Thank you,
Shivam
