To whom it may concern,
Hello, my name is HyoungJoo Ryu. I am interested in participating in Apache Software Foundation’s “Common Math” project through Google Summer of Code this summer. Especially idea #1: Redesign and modularize the “ml” package to enable multi-thread usage. I am currently a sophomore student majoring in Computer Science at Virginia Tech, and have a strong foundation in OOP especially in Java, and Data Structures and Algorithms. My question is that do we have to go through all the ideas in the idea list for this project or is it there for us to select one from the list. Also I am currently going through the “ML” package, and wondering if there are any tips for newcomers going through the package and is there a way to discuss my proposal with any potential mentors? I believe that this project will provide me with a great opportunity to expand my knowledge and expertise in programming. I am ready to learn as much as possible and take on any new challenges, while making meaningful contributions. Best, HyoungJoo Ryu
