Re: GSoC proposal draft, BlobStore Client, Whirr-286.
Hi Guys,
Last night I was informed that I got in to Google Summer of Code as a
student. I was and still am very excited. Right now the community bonding
period is starting. This means that I will be reading up
code/documentation, getting a grip over the system version control being
used and so on. I hope (and intend) to meet excpectation regarding my
project. Please feel free to engage me personally and in the list in any
way or form. If you have a doc that you want to share or just want to get
to know me.
Wanted to thank Adrian and Andrei for helping out with the proposal and
especially Karel which will be my mentor.
May the design begin! :)
Good Day,
qballer
