Hi there, We are a group of 15 collegians, studying 'Applied Computer Science' at the University of Applied Sciences in Iserlohn (Germany) and we are looking for a project for the OLPC within the scope of our subject "Computer-Networks". Our professor (Prof. Martin Hühne) let us choose our own topic, leading us directly to our first problem: What can we do?
We have to find a project fitting to this demand. We read the wiki and realised, that most of our ideas we thought we could implement are either finished software projects or simply not good enough to keep on thinking about them, because they do not fit to the OLPC- ideas. The wiki pages for Project ideas are nice, but you do not know exactly whether there is already someone working on one of the projects, or not. The Pages for Current Projects are quite nice too, but there you do not know if the people working on it actually do need help. That is why we post this little request to the readers of this mailing list. We are looking for either a project we can take part on, or a not- yet-implemented idea. It should not bee too big for us in order to be finished within time; it should not be too small to have something to do for 15 students. (Anyway, don't forget we need to sleep) It would be nice, but not all necessary if the project could involve some of the networking technologies of the XO, I mean, the subject is "Computer-Networks" Furthermore, there is a time limit: We will have to end the project until end of June, whereas there will be the same subject for another group of students after our free period, which will have the same, or a similar task. Probably, they will go on, on our project, if its not finished. Our Knowledge Base: We have good basic knowledge in C/C++, Java, some basic knowledge in scripting languages (Perl, PHP and bash) and some of us have good knowledge of Linux. A further subject called "Software-Engineering" came along with us for one and a half year. We started reading and working in Python and GTK, and saw, we can cope that. We are open for all your suggestions, you can email me directly if you have a project we can take part on, but you could also just answer here, if you have a good idea which of the project ideas we could implement. Thank you in advance, Patrick P.S. Please forgive me my English skills _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
