Hello,
1. I am Debdutto Chakraborty, currently studying in pre-final year
B.Tech in Computer Science and engineering from Asansol Engineering
College. Also, I'm new to this world of open source although I've
been using Ubuntu & various other Open Sourced software por past 3-4
years, I had no idea that it was such a huge thing.
2. I was going through the ideas page and the following two project
ideas really struck me:
* *Design and development of a print ready OpenType font for
Bengali*: Being a Bengali myself, a;though i could speak bengali
but I learned to read/write the language quite later in life.
Also I'm familiar with font designing techniques as i created a
font of my own handwriting using a technique given long back in
Digit magazine. Although there might be different tools at work
here, but I'm known to be highly adaptive in such cases.
* *Add**a language model for speech recognition software for
Bengali language*: For people like me, who can speak/read fluent
Bengali but stutter while writing, this kind of software will a
boon. Although I'm not familiar with how speech recognition
actually works or how it is built, I'm researching/googling
everything I can find on the web right now. Also, any help from
Ankur India will be great
3. Since I'm in college now, I've classes. Still, i will be able to
provide around 8-10 hours of work every day. If more time is needed
I'm always ready to cough up some extra work-hours.
4. Speaking of commitments I only have my college classes & nothing else.
5. I've arranged for a unlimited Internet connection, and I'll always
be on-line on the IRC channels. Therefore, a mentor's presence
virtually will be of no hindrance. We will be able to communicate
via mails, IRC, mailing-lists.
6. Yes, I'm comfortable in English.
Yours Sincerely,
Debdutto Chakraborty
