hey folks, as some of you may know, i'm going through the last half of a two year masters' program in "efficient computation" at lund university[1]. for the final semester i'm required to do a rather open-ended project/thesis something along the lines of my course of study.
so, naturally, my imagination turns towards the debian project wondering
how i might be able to combine my academic and debian interests into
a common objective. so, please consider this a solicitation for ideas.
if any of them sound genuinely interesting/relevant, i'll take them by
my advisor for approval.
i should elaborate a bit more on "relevant". basically, this is a
largely theoretical program, and any project would need to tie into that
in some form or other. so the following would probably not make the
cut:
- implement foo in C instead of (perl/sh/whatever)
- rewrite foo to use X to make it go faster
whereas the following would:
- anything remotely resembling a graph theory problem (pkg deps? bts?)
- introducing new and non-trivial algorithms in bottlenecks anywhere
in the "project architecture" (vague, i know)
any comments/feedback welcome. feel free to reply off-list (or cc me
anyway, since i'm not subscribed).
thanks,
sean
