GSOC2017 Student Introduction-Yuanbin Zhou

[Yuanbin Zhou]

Hi all,

I am a third year postgraduate student from China majoring in computer engineering. I am expected to graduate in April 2017 and will become a PhD student in Sept 2017. I would like to participate in the Qubes OS organization in the GSOC 2017. Unfortunately, I came to know the deadline of students application recently since last year's deadline was later than that. I don't know whether I am available to apply for it.

I had experience in the porting of IPv6 network stack into the real-time operating systems "RT-Thread" from China and that was happened in the summer of code organized by Chinese company CSDN.NET, which is similar to google summer of code. Finally it awarded me $724 in the three months work. From that I obtained experiences on how to cooperate with contributors of open source organization and accumulate knowledge about IPv6. So I think I gain basic knowledge for "IPv6 support" project, which will make me become successful at the end. I will begin to write my proposal as soon as possible.

Best,

Yuanbin Zhou

This year deadline still haven't passed - it's April 3rd 16:00 UTC, so
yes, you still can apply.

Great! I think "IPv6 Support" project may be a good choice, especially
when you worked with IPv6 before. There is not that much work there,
also because there are some PoC scripts available (only for part of this
task, and those scripts are 2 years old, so may not be straightforward
to use them). But this may be a good thing, as it will higher the
chances to complete the whole task in available time frame, including
working out final details, testing etc.
