Hello everybody, I'm very interested in the GSoC project "Large dataset manager", and would very much like to apply for this.
Here is some info about myself in a semi-CV form based on http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2009/StudentApplicationTemplate: Name: Roy Hvaara Email: This address, [email protected] or [email protected] Background: I'm a second year medical student abroad. I'm originally Norwegian, but study in Hungary. I've been using debian for about 3-4 years now, and think it's the best distro I've used so far. I started using linux about 6 years ago with slackware... As you might understand I quickly changed to something with a better package manager; gentoo. I still think portage is a great manager, but the time it takes to compile everything from scratch simply outweighs the benefits. A few friends introduced me to debian, and here I am. I've been doing php, perl and shell scripting for some time, and I'm slowly learning c. My studies takes up most of my time. I think perl is the most suited for this task, and getData is also in perl. I think this project is really interesting, and I would love to spend my summer on it. I have some ideas on how to accomplish a nice result, and I'll continue thinking on it until summer starts. I can write more about them in a different post if you're interested. This is something I would love to do even if not for SoC. Exams and other commitments: My exam period starts on the 18th of May, but I will work hard to get done with my exams as soon as possible, and even harder to make up for any time I might lose on my project. After the summer: I've always wanted to manage a couple of packets, but during the semester I have very limited time, and I don't want to start something I can't finish. Would anyone on this list be willing to be my mentor? Is there anything else I should do to apply for this? -- Best Regards, Roy Hvaara -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
