Hi Wajahat Thanks for getting in touch with the Drizzle project before applying for GSoC. You CV looks impressive, I have to say.
One thing I wanted to ask is, have you ever contributed to some open source project before? Is some work you have done, even just academic, publicly available so it could be reviewed by Drizzle mentors? If not, you might want to consider trying to fix some low-hanging-bugs during the GSOC application period to showcase your skills: https://bugs.launchpad.net/drizzle/+bugs?field.tag=low-hanging-fruit (Unfortunately, Marcus keeps the JDBC driver in good shape so it never has any low hanging bugs. But you could ask him directly on IRC (marcuse) if there's anything simple to do.) henrik On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 1:31 AM, Wajahat Abbassi <wajahat.abba...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Marcus & Danial, > > I hope you are doing good.
