Why me: I have a good technical background in systems programming (thus C being natural to me), and have been contributing for a few years to the util-linux project, which has the mainstream fdisk program. Furthermore I am experienced with the fdisk source code and block devices (partition tables and filesystems), having written some of the interfaces used along the project - blkdev, xalloc, procutils, etc. I am one of the people with most contributions (https://www.ohloh.net/p/util-linux-ng/contributors) and am known by the maintainer and other developers.
very good news, specially the fact that you already know the util-linux team.
one of the delicate points if that such sensible tool have to be maintained for a very large period of time.
I follow the parted mailing list and see that pretty often there are some obscure bug discovered.
Do you think you will be able to keep working on fdisk for some time after the Gsoc?
Obviously I can not speak for Davidlohr, but since he already did quite a lot of work on util-linux, I don't expect he will just quit after finishing the GSoC, right? :) Petr -- Petr Uzel IRC: ptr_uzl @ freenode
