> Project proposal (mandatory):
>
> My proposal is to integrate the GUI with the Octave build system, as
> described on the project page,
> http://octave.org/wiki/index.php?title=GSoC_Project_Ideas#GUI.
>
> Currently, it is independent of Octave and has to be built separately.
>
> I have been using Linux as my operating system for years and am
> familiar with several different Linux distributions. It is also my
> main development platform. I therefore also use the GNU build system a
> lot, but only rarely use QT.
>
>
> I would also like to take this opportunity to give a short summary of
> my life so far: I went to high school at Robert-Mayer-Gymnasium in
> Heilbronn, Germany before leaving for England to study Computer
> Science at the University of Bristol.
>
> Even though I have only just finished my first year at Bristol, I feel
> like I made the right choice by going there. My course, while
> demanding, covers a vast array of different topics and I have never
> felt short-changed.
>
> We have also had a large number of coursework assignments, through
> which I have been able to improve my coding and my problem solving
> skills, affecting my development methodology.
>
> I now sometimes sit down with just a pen and a paper in my hand, draw
> a rough sketch of what I am trying to accomplish. Then I fill in the
> gaps in detail, effectively employing top-to-bottom and bottom-up
> strategies.
>
> Obviously, I also test and debug my code very thoroughly to make sure
> it works as expected.
>
> Besides getting excellent marks at school, I participated in a lot of
> extracurricular activities as well, some of which helped me learn to
> code, and others that helped me develop as an individual.
>
> For instance, I participated at a Mathematics competition at the
> internationally renowned company Bosch GmbH, where my team came in
> second, which shows that I can work well in a team and that I am very
> ambitious.
>
> During the last three of summers, I interned at Phalanx-IT GmbH, an IT
> security company, where, on top of learning a lot of useful things, I
> could finally put my coding skills to good use. I wrote several
> scripts and programmes, which are in productive use, to facilitate
> certain tasks.
>
> I have been planning to contribute to the open source community for a
> long time and this project seems like a fascinating challenge.
>
> Additional notes: I am in Prague from 02/08/2012 to 05/08/2012, but it
> should not affect my work too much.
