The scope of my project roughly corresponds to these two components. With regard to licensing issues, I opted to work only with import/export streams so that no linking is required. In the context of GSoC, I am studying my final year of a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science x 2) at Australian National University, Canberra. As for FOSS contributions, the last time I released something was when I helped port the iBurst wireless broadband driver (USB interface) [2] a few years ago; the demands of life vs. one's passion. -- David Barr [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/142623 [2] http://sourceforge.net/projects/ibdriver-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
