Hello all :) I applied for the GSoC-2011 for KIO application but did get selected for it. I am still looking for project in this summer in KDE. I have no specific project in my mind. I don't know which projects are allocated to students for GSoC-2011 so any project appropriate for me according to my profile I can work on. If any project which is not related to KDE or any other project which fits to my profile and any mentor wants me to work I can work on it. I would like to prefer for project in which system programming is involved. I have no experience in graphics side programming. Very little experience in scripting and web site development. I am good at C and C++. Any system programming related project will be perfect for me :) My specific interest includes kernel programming( I am beginner in it :) ) To explore more about my interest I did many projects on Linux based Operating System from my UG only. Here are some area on which I have worked till date: - I worked as an embedded engineer for 1.5 years in eInfochips.(* http://www.einfochips.com*) - During my job I made Linux Ethernet driver for DaVinci based SoC. - I also worked on network protocols like IGMPv3 as part of protocol verification project. I did my UG( Computer Science as Major ) and currently I am doing my M.Tech ( Software Engineering as Major ) in International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore, India. During My 1st and 2nd Semester I did following projects: - Made Chromium secure live USB by removing hard disk driver from it and made appropriate changes to make it bootable via USB. - I have also coded one Linux kernel module which was keeping track of IPC object(i.e. Semaphore) waiting process queue. Here is the major projects details and some source code that I have done till: http://crocodoc.com/D9wE6G http://crocodoc.com/6ZfQ0a I am planing to take advanced operation system as my one of the main subject. So if I am getting any project related to it, I can talk to my professor and can request him to consider it as project elective. So that I can work on it for next 6 month also. I would like to work for any project that is appropriate according to my profile. If there are any other projects available then also I am open to work for it. I can also do work for any application. I like to work for open source and want to explore this world. I am expecting from this project a good learning experience plus a good bridge between open source organization and my institute. Let me know what is I need to do further. Thanks and regards, Tushar Mehta IIIT- Bangalore, India +91-8951240982
