I contributed to openSUSE's popcorn project during GSoC 2012. Popcorn collects anonymous data about usage of RPM packages. I implemented various features including making data collection anonymous, packaging client RPM, implement a simple RESTful API, integration of client in settings user interface (YaST). Source code is available on github. My contributions are under username axitkhurana.
Also, working towards a small patch for TOR's stem library.
