it.

Hi all,

I'm a second year's master at Beijing University of Post and
Telecommunication, majored in EE and looking forward to contribute
"Redesign fdisk to be more extensible and implement GPT support" at
this year's GSoC.

I have used openSUSE from 10.1 till the latest version for almost 6
years. It's really fantasy for me. You may have noticed that my email
address is jiayisuse :)

Redesigning fdisk and Adding GPT support is attractive for me. It's a
little upset once I got the GPT Warning message with typing fdisk on
my MBP. I have read parts of fdisk source code, it's really a bit
disordered. So I think this work is quite significant and I want to
contribute for it.

I'm skilled with C/C++/bash/awk, experienced in both Linux Application
and Linux kernel module development (Internship at Intel China R&D,
develop meego driver).

Last 3 days I read the GPT reference, libparted source code and Mac's
gpt source code. Then I set up my git repository and did a experiment
to modify fdisk to list all my GPT partitions' info, it works now :)

It's great to see your enthusiasm!

openSUSE's webpage indicates me here. So Could you recommend me to do
this project under Petr Uzel's guide?

The best way to make sure you get selected to work on this GSoC project
is to provide good arguments in your application form, when application
will open for students :-) Make sure to mention everything you've said
here and, why not, provide a link to a patch to fdisk you wrote!

Cheers,

Vincent
