Hello all,
My name is João Reys Santos and I'm currently studying Computer Engineering
at University of Évora, Portugal.
I'm writing to this mailing list because I was looking for a Google Summer
of Code 2013 mentoring organization to work on this summer. What I found on
MIXXX, according to http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/gsocadvice, is that it
might be a very suitable organization to work on. The informal and
cooperative environment and the ability to work with Artists, DJs and
Programmers is really motivating, since I'm a fan of Club/House music.
Also, working on a cross-platform application sounds very interesting since
I use both Windows and Linux.
About me, I can say that I'm very eager to learn and very adaptive when it
comes to different programming languages or different ways to write/indent
code.
As far as my personal experience:
- Programming: I've been programming for 4 years (currently at my 2nd
University year but I had past experience).
- Programming Languages: In the past 4 years I've scrambled across several
programming languages such as Java, Python, PHP, Javascript, C, C++. I've
also dealt with HTML, XML and SQL. But if I had to pick my core language to
program in, it would undoubtedly be Java.
- Internship: I've had an internship of 3 months during my Highschool at my
current University, namely the Developers section where students/classes
are managed.
- Past GSoC experiences: I've been accepted in last year's Google Summer of
Code at the mentoring organization Jikes RVM, the project was to write Unit
Tests and an environment to auto-run those tests when compiling. I've
passed both mid-term and final evaluations.
About projects, the one that really got my attention was "Plug and Play
MIDI Mode | Community MIDI Mappings", the main reason is that I was trying
to find an "excuse" to learn DJango and this just might be the perfect way.
It would be great if someone could give me a more detailed explanation
about how ambitious this project is.
Anything else you need to know about me, feel free to ask.
Best regards,
João Reys Santos
