Hi, I'm interested in doing a student project with Axis2 for Google's Summer of Code program, an initiative aimed at introducing students to Open Source Software Development (http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html). I've wanted to become involved with an open source project for a while now, and think that this would be an excellent chance to contribute to Apache.
Please let me know if you'd be interested in working with me in an advisor role, or if you have ideas for possible summer projects. I found a list of tasks on the Wiki (FrontPage/Axis2/Tasks), and am interested in several of them, but don't know if they're already being tackled by someone. More about me: I'm a rising senior at Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in Electrical & Computer Engineering. I've done previous work with web applications and web services, and consider myself a flexible programmer. Of recent note, two friends and I took second place in the national (US) finals of Microsoft's ImagineCup Software Design Competition two weeks ago. My part of the project included implementing .NET web services with a Pocket PC. Thanks for your help! Sincerely, Mark -- Mark F.
