Hi Jeff, I am interested in doing work for crypto++. I have done two courses in network security and have used crypto++ extensively in my lab. I am also strong in c++.
Now, I have two questions 1. What should I do next before we start our we can start our dry run for GSoC 2017. I am planning to make my c++ stronger by reading thinking in c++ vol 2. (Already read Vol 1) Also planning to read more of source code. 2. Will I get any stipend for my work? This is very important. Please reply fast.
