G-Soc 2017 Student Introduction

[Soumyadeep Kundu]

Hello,

I am a second year undergraduate pursuing Computer Science and Engineering at Jadavpur University. I am interested to contribute to your organization and also want to take part in G-Soc 2017.
I am already familiar with Qubes OS as I have already used it earlier.

I am quite comfortable with C, C++,Python and Linux. I am interested in some of the projects which are-
1. Audio support for Qubes Windows Tool
2. Improve Windows GUI agent performance and stability

3. Gui agent for Windows 8/10
4. GUI improvements

I would be grateful if anyone could help me in getting started.


Looking forward to hear from you.



Thanking You,


Soumyadeep Kundu

Welcome, Soumyadeep! Thank you for interest in Qubes for GSoC 2017. It
sounds like you've already had a look at our GSoC page, which is
great. Please continue following the "Overview of Steps." In
particular, it would be good to write a first draft proposal and to
reach out to the mentors for the project ideas you mentioned: Rafał
Wojdyła and Jean-Philippe Ouellet.

Indeed.

I would also note that the more specific detail you include in your
proposal, the more you demonstrate that you are a good candidate.

You expressed interest in projects of type "Improve X". Specifically
identifying what you think the problems with X are (backed by specific
and reproducible observations) would be a very good first step.
