GSOC 2017 Student Introduction

[nikhilraj...@gmail.com]

Hello everyone!!

Hope it’s not too late to introduce myself!

My name is Nikhil Raj and I’m living in Bhubaneswar, India. I’m in my last year at KIIT University.

So I would be happy to join the Qubes project under GSoC, I think it would be an excellent experience for me and a chance to upgrade my knowledge and skills. I am very excited to begin working on real projects and promote Open Source Software.

I can’t say myself as an experienced developer, I am new to this society,  but I feel , I can contribute some of my skills in Python, I had experience with a bit of JAVA, I love Linux OS and know a little about bash scripting, also, I know basic PHP, and Web designing.

I have already installed Qubes OS (Live) , and explored your rich environment. I have also read your GSoC page and began reading documentation.

I am interested in working on LogVM(s) project from your Idea List, I want to extend your LogVM(s) idea, with some of my own ideas.

Maybe, someone can help me with finding some easy task to get started with working on Qubes (I have already seen Github issues page[https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues]) and currently working on some P: minor issues :) 

I look forward to a reply.

Best wishes,

Nikhil Raj
