Hi, I am a student from the Faculty of Engineering, Universtiy of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka who is currently in my 4th year (final year) majoring in Computer Science and Engineering. I was a GSoC participant in 2012 for Creative Commons and was able to successfully complete the assigned project[1]. I would like to contribute to Sling in GSoC 2013.
I did my 6 months of internship in WSO2[2], which is a middleware company who's products are entirely built on OSGI. There, I was part of a test hackathon which was carried out for around 2 months for one of their products, named WSO2 Governance Registry(GReg) [3]. There I wrote various integration tests for the product. Few of my test cases included testing JCR related functionality of GReg, so I have an understanding on what is JCR and how it can be used. Also I have used JUnit in some of my project work that I carried out in the university. So I believe that I have the ability to work on both the ideas listed in [4], and [5] (I wanted to do [5] even in GSoC 2012, but somehow missed the opportunity). To be honest, I've never used Sling nor Solr. So I know that i might not seem the best candidate for [4]. But after taking a look at both Sling and Solr, I have the confidence that I'll be able to complete the project. I honestly believe that I have enough knowledge to complete [5]. My LinkedIn profile can be accessed via [6]. That will list most of the important activities carried out by me and the recommendations that I've got for my work in WSO2 (you might need to log in to LinkedIn). I'm pretty sure that with proper guidance I can complete either [4] or [5]. Please give me any advice, guidance you'd like to extend.
