Hi, I am, Chitesh Tewani, pursuing my engineering in V.J.T.I, Mumbai, India and currently in my 3rd year.
I am well versed with web-technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScipt, jQuery, HTML5(learning), PHP and I have done many projects based on these technologies at under-grad level and can comfortably use these technologies. I have listed below the ideas which I like from the ideas page ( http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/Google+Summer+of+Code+Ideas+Page) Idea1: *Draw Markup on Video* 1. I have used HTML5 to some extent and currently in my learning phase. I have read on how we can place HTML5 canvas over videos. 2. I have checked out YouTube - Annotations and how to make annotations on the video. Idea2: *Capture Agent User Interface* 1. Could you please elaborate on "Capture Agents"? All what I could understand from different articles on opencast.org, is that it is an agent which captures videos based on schedule and supports audio and other video formats. Are capturing hardware (cameras etc) connected to this agents? On what platform are they built on? 2. I have proficient knowledge on XML, partly JSON, JavaScript, CSS, HTML which are required for this idea. I have used XML and JSON for my projects to get stock quotes from Google finance API and Yahoo! finance API. Also have some knowledge in Java as a programming knowledge, as I had used JSP(Java Server Page) for my IBM The Great Minds Challenge project. Idea3: *Processing video for single-stream delivery* 1. I have proficient knowledge in using Python and few of its other libraries, though personally have not yet used PIL or openCV, but I have some knowledge of using Image Processing using MATLAB, if that helps. 2. Currently, I am learning android development and I'm comfortable to use Java. Idea4: *Monitoring Dashboard* 1. I have not used JMX, but I'm aware of what it does and looks interesting to work with. 2. Also, I have used other web technologies like HTML, Javascript, XML, CSS required for this idea. Apologies if I have contacted a bit late, as I was browsing through all the ideas & filtered the ones which I felt were most kindred to my skills, also which the ideas which interested me to work on of the summer As I am new to the community, kindly tell me the groundwork to do before playing around with it. Is it fine to personally mail the mentors concerned with a particular project? Or I should mail in this mailing list (Sorry for my naivete here) Waiting for a reply. Thanks. -- Regards, Chitesh T.
