Hey guys, My name is Farshad Muhammad, I am a 4rth year computer science student at Carleton University, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I have applied to and been accepted into GSoC this year under GNU Classpath. I'll be working with Andrew to port the GTK+3 AWT support for the Classpath following the GTK Migration guide. I am extremely excited to be working for GNU and hope to learn a lot as well as make my first contribution to the open source community. I am hoping to expand my knowledge about the inner workings of complex makefiles and C.
Cheers Farshad ________________________________________ From: classpath-boun...@gnu.org [classpath-boun...@gnu.org] on behalf of Andrew Hughes [gnu.and...@redhat.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2013 7:44 PM To: Matthias Klose Cc: classpath@gnu.org Subject: Re: GNU Classpath Summer of Code 2013 ----- Original Message ----- > Am 28.05.2013 17:51, schrieb Mario Torre: > > On Tue, 2013-05-28 at 16:00 +0200, Elisa D'Eugenio wrote: > >> Hello!

I don't know why this was posted to the GNU Classpath list as its only relation to the project is that it had to enter GSoC under the GNU Project, as OpenJDK once again failed to enter itself as an organisation. > Matthias > > -- Andrew :) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
