Subject: My application for Season of KDE 2011<br>To: <a href="mailto:kde-soc-mentor@kde.org">kde-soc-mentor@kde.org</a><br><br><br>Hello all :)<br><br>I applied for the GSoC-2011 for KIO application but did get selected for it.<br>
I am still looking for project in this summer in KDE.<br><br>I have no specific project in my mind. I don't know which projects are allocated<br>
to students for GSoC-2011 so any project appropriate for me according to my profile<br>I can work on.<br><br>If any project which is not related to KDE or any other project which fits to my profile<br>and any mentor wants me to work I can work on it.<br>
<br>I
would like to prefer for project in which system programming is involved.<br>I
have no experience in graphics side programming.<br>Very little experience
in scripting and web site development.<br>
<br>I am good at C and C++.<br><br>Any system programming related project will be perfect for me :)<br><br>My specific interest includes kernel programming( I am beginner in it :) )<br>To explore more about my interest I did many projects on Linux based<br>
Operating System from my UG only.<br><br>Here are some area on which I have worked till date:<br>- I worked as an embedded engineer for 1.5 years in eInfochips.(<b><a href="http://www.einfochips.com/" target="_blank">http://www.einfochips.com</a></b>)<br>
- During my job I made Linux Ethernet driver for DaVinci based SoC.<br>- I also worked on network protocols like IGMPv3 as part of protocol verification project.<br><br>I did my UG( Computer Science as Major ) and currently I am doing<br>
my M.Tech ( Software Engineering as Major )<br>
in International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore, India. <br><br>During My 1st and 2nd Semester I did following projects:<br>- Made Chromium secure live USB by removing hard disk driver<br> from it and made appropriate changes to make it bootable via USB.<br>
- I have also coded one Linux kernel module which was keeping track of IPC<br> object(i.e. Semaphore) waiting process queue.<br><br>Here is the major projects details and some source code that I have done till:<br>

<a href="http://crocodoc.com/6ZfQ0a" target="_blank">http://crocodoc.com/6ZfQ0a</a><br><br>I am planing to take advanced operation system as my one of the main subject. So if I am getting<br>any project related to it, I can talk to my professor and can request him to consider it<br>
as project elective. So that I can work on it for next 6 month also.<br>
<br>I would like to work for any project that is appropriate according to my profile.<br>If there are any other projects available then also I am open to work for it.<br><br>I can also do work for any application.<br><br>
I like to work for open source and want to explore this world.<br>
I am expecting from this project a good learning experience plus a good bridge<br>between open source organization and my institute. <br>
<br>Let me know what is I need to do further.<br><br>Thanks and regards,<br><font color="#888888"><font color="#888888">Tushar Mehta<br>IIIT- Bangalore,<br>India<br>+91-8951240982 </font><br>
