Hi all, This is an introduction about myself. Since Jacob said, "And if we don't know them at all, it's hard to trust they'll get things done." I am writing my involvement in Django and other FOSS communities in general here to let you all know something about me. Hope this helps you people to tell me what I need to learn and how to go about the idea I am interested in.
I have been interested in contributing to Django even before GSoC ever flashed to me. In January or so, I badly felt the need for Multiple Primary Key support (Ticket #373) and pinged David Crammer about it on #django-dev, since he had done some work on it. Back then I started to read the Django ORM code, but could not write any code after that. Thanks to University coursework :( Later from early March I have been trying to contribute something to Django. (I am free from then and will be mostly free henceforth and totally free in Summer without any other commitments.) I have had some discussions about fixing ticket #8161 on django-devel list (http://is.gd/obr2) but unfortunately it was fixed. So was looking for few other things and I thought I will apply for GSoC as Django student since I felt it lowers the barrier to get started. I am mostly interested in ORM related ideas since I have read most of django.db.* code. (I am sorry, I am not claiming I am very well versed in Django ORM, but I have a fair idea of how the code is written and structured). I am searching for other ORM related ideas from the ticket list. I will get back to you all whenever I find I something interesting. I am involved in FOSS communities from 3 years now and have Python experience of around 1.25 years. I have contributed few patches to projects like Melange (http://code.google.com/p/soc/source/browse/trunk/AUTHORS, the app on which this year GSoC is run, built on Django), KDE Step (http://is.gd/oci7), GNUSim8085(worked for Windows port), RTEMS and quite a few other FOSS projects. -- Thanks and regards, Madhusudan.C.S Blogs at: www.madhusudancs.info Official Email ID: madhusu...@madhusudancs.info --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
