Hi DBpedia developers, I have finished my master's degree of computer science two years ago. Then I was doing Ph.D. for 1 year, but I quit. Now I study economics, therefore I am eligible to attend the GSoC.
I was successfully attending the GSoC 2011 and it was really great experience and I learned a lot. Now I work as a developer for Red Hat on open-source project called RHQ [1]. I've asked my boss and there should be no problem to attend also the GSoC (I would like to take PTO if necessary). My biggest project is an open-source system for digitizing books [2] and storing all the metadata in a repository. The relations among the digital objects were captured by RDF triplets. It is written in Java and there is one small mvn module written in Scala+Akka for parallel image conversion. My experience with Java is about 6 years, so I should know all related technologies like Maven, Git, JVM tunning, etc. As for Scala, I am quite noob, but I passed the Coursera course last year with 100%. On universities I had a lot of courses with ML, few NLP courses and I was reading a lot of articles about semweb. I created a plugin for open-source web crawler for identifying the language of a web page using Google Prediction API. I would love to work on the topic called Massive extraction of triples from Media Wikis. I've submitted an application in the Melange. Talk is cheap, here is my github account [3] :) [1]: http://www.jboss.org/rhq [2]: http://code.google.com/p/meta-editor/ [3]: https://github.com/Jiri-Kremser JK ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
