Hello,
I'm Avik, 3rd yr (junior) bachelor CS student from Bengal Engineering &
Science University,Shibpur.
I went through the GSOC '13 ideas list and found the project *Implement a
binding translator for GlusterFS* very interesting. I also would like to
say that I also fulfill all the necessary prerequisites given in the
project ideas page.
A little about myself(you may wanna skip this)
I have about 4 years of programming experience, I am the coordinator of the
Software Club in my University and help first and second year students with
Algorithms, I sometimes also take coding sessions here. My team qualified
for the ACM-ICPC 2012 Regionals(only team selected from my university in
that region).
I'm hoping to participate in GSoC since while I'm an avid open-source
enthusiast, I haven't had any chance in contributing to something this big
before and it's about time to fix that.You can find some of my toy projects
at
https://github.com/avikpal
I have been going through the links given in your page and documentations
here and there, maybe you can help me with some useful resources so that
right away I can start contributing and in this way sharpen my skills
before GSOC actually starts.
I will be accessible by email and through IRC (nick avikp at freenode), but
since my time zone is UTC+5:30, I might not be accessible at all times.
