Hi, my name is Sebastian Galindo, I'm currently in my last year of college
at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Colombia (in computer/systems
engineering degree).
I'm writing because I want to contribute to GCC on behalf of the GSoC
program; I was looking for a way to contribute to open-source a long time
ago, and I just read about the GSoC opportunity, I'm pretty excited about
the opportunity to contribute if it's possible!

I'm familiar with C/C++ programming building a framework for HPC
simulations (Using stuff like MPI, Slurm, parallelism and so on) and also I
was an ICPC contestant throughout my career coding in C++. I know some of
the compiler theory thanks to the EPIC Institute of technology which I'm
currently enrolled in.

- I have already read some sections of the docs
- go through the bug lists in Bugzilla to read about the current issues and
which part of the code are referring.
- Also I've built the GCC source code and do some 'Hello World' program,
but I'm currently looking to enable the offloading in the GCC build.

I'm motivated to contribute to enhancing OpenACC support so I want to ask...

1. Is there some link to read more about the features mentioned?
(Example: OpenACC bind clause)
2. Do you recommend any docs or references for getting familiarized with
OpenACC related code?
3. Do you want me to look or study some specific region of the code?

In the meantime, I will look into some bugs and contribute if it's possible
to get more involved.

Thanks for your time!
