Hi everyone, I am a Masters student at the University of Waterloo in Canada and I am currently doing research related to databases in the cloud. I am also taking a related advanced level course for database in cloud computing environments this semester ( http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~ashraf/teaching/12Wcs848/). My homepage is http://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~t2rafiq/.
I've been looking for cloud related projects in GSOC 2012 and Libcloud caught my attention. I'm really interested in working on issue 168 of Libcloud (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-168) as my project for GSOC this year. I think it's very relevant to my research area and I have the necessary skills to work on the project. Can someone give me some pointers on how to get started with the project and also with proposal preparation? Are there any potential mentors who would be willing to work with me on this project? I know there is little time before the application period ends, but I'll do the best I can. Thanks, -- Taha.
