Hi Guys,
It’s so great to have supportive mentors like you guys! BTW my actual first name is “Parth" and last name is “Sane” just to clarify from the previous email. I am going to prepare the proposal on the fingerprinting engine but I don’t have a clear idea about what to write with respect to the topic although I have some elements already in place for the proposal(Oleg can maybe provide an idea on this regard).
Regards,
Parth Sane

I usually participate in open source projects not just because I like using that software but also because its really cool code. Now Jenkins in particular piques my interest. It’s the only CI server that runs well cross platform and with the plugins of your choice. With the code base being Java, it makes me more comfortable working with it (if I were to submit a patch) since I have worked on Java technologies involving API design, RDBMS and production code during my internship at BMC Software Inc. I also have been learning Java since 2010 so I do have a fair bit of programming experience under my belt. I have also worked UX design on my personal projects with Bootstrap. I have also submitted a patch for the Linux kernel as well.
