Hi Thomas, Ana and Obey, Your answers put a smile on my face. :) I will start learning Python, I am planning to do so for quite some time, my friend recommended it to me too. Now I have bigger reason to do it. I'll try to improve my packaging skills until the project starts. I hope you will choose me for GSoC, but still, if you don't, I will still continue to contribute and to use Debian with love. :)
Greetings and thanks a lot for your kind words, Karolina On Thu, Mar 3, 2011 at 23:30, Obey Arthur Liu <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Karolina, > > On Sun, Feb 27, 2011 at 8:35 PM, Karolina Kalic <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Hi to all, >> >> My name is Karolina, I'm a student from Serbia, and a proud user of >> Debian.
