[opensuse-project] GSOC 2012 - Introducing myself and ideas I am interested in
From computer languages I currently speak (I may say fluently) c/c++ and java. I am interested in software optimisation and parallelization and have worked with CUDA, opencl, MPI, and RMI. I have also studied a
Hello everybody, My name is Efstathios Agrapidis (efagra) and I am a final year undergraduate student at the University of Macedonia [1] in Greece, where I study Applied Information Technology. I am currently an openSUSE user for the last two years and linux user since almost a decade (hoping from one distro to another), but really new to the beauty of the community behind such projects (one and a half year). I have mostly contributed to the greek part of the community by mentoring in this year's GCI, partitipating in events, translating software/weekly news/wiki, making presentations and I think this would be the best oportunity for me to start contributing in the software part of the distribution. little about perl and python in the past that are required by some of the ideas, so I think I can catch up easily. As far as database languages is concerned I also know SQL and have worked with sqlite and MySQL. I should notice that I have a large learning apetite so any new knowledge that can and will come by partitipating in such an event is more than welcome and desired. I am not interested only in one specific project but in many and I need guidance on how to proceed, as I have different reasons for each idea. Below I am listing all of them line by line: SUSE Studio Java Client SDK Gtk Front End to Oyranos Redesign fdisk to be more extensible and implement GPT support On-demand Symbolic Memory Concolic Symbolic Execution LTP:Fix/Implement automated kernel/glibc tests Automatic resizing of LVM volumes and filesystems I am really excited about this.

It's always good to see our contributors applying to GSoC! [...]

There are two obvious comments here: - we can't decide what project you're more interested in :-) - it's better to focus on one, or maybe two projects and apply only for those. The second point is really important as, otherwise, you won't be able to apply with good project submissions, and this will mean you're losing some chances of getting accepted. My advice for you is to look at your list, think hard about the projects that will be the most fun for you (and there's no wrong answer here!), and focus on those. You can then contact the potential mentors and discuss with them a bit before applying. Good luck with GSoc!

As the potential mentor of one of the above projects, I am additionally interessted in your previous coding experience. That can be part of your submitted proposal. kind regards Kai-Uwe Behrmann -- www.oyranos.org

So, should I point you to some code I have written? Should that be in a specific language or in general? What do you actually want? Thank you for your response. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
