Re: Prospective GSoC contributor introduction

Hi Hamza,

I don't know whether someone else has reached out to you already. In any case, I'm happy 
you found your way to the mailing list!
It's great to hear you've been going through the tutorials already, that is a good basis. 
If you want to ask questions about anything code-related, or about an approach you have 
for what you'll be doing, do reach out to use here on the mailing list or in the 
#gnuradio:gnuradio.org matrix chat room, as explained in [1].


Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Kayla,

welcome to the discuss-gnuradio mailinglist. Nice that you found your way here. 
Before you start drafting on your proposal I recommend you get a little bit 
familiar with GNU Radio. 
You can do that by looking at our tutorials, which you can find in the wiki and 
through tutorials.gnuradio.org 

Within GNU Radio you will already find some blocks implementing channel 
codes/error correcting codes. But also a lot of modern codes
and from recent research are missing/not implemented. Other libraries like 
https://aff3ct.github.io/ have verified and fast implementations.
Maybe you find other open source libraries which we can pull in, too!  

If you have questions or problems you are welcome to ask here on the 
mailinglist or in our chatroom. We use matrix, if you already have
an account you can join the general chat room through #gnuradio:gnuradio.org 
otherwise you can find some more information here

Cheers,
Andrej

Prospective GSoC contributor introduction

[Kayla Comer]

Hello,

My name is Kayla, and I am interested in contributing to GNU Radio through
GSoC this summer. I finished my BS in EE in December, and I plan to start a
PhD program in the communications/networks field in the fall. I learned
about GNU Radio through a lab at school, and I think GSoC would be a great
opportunity for me to become more comfortable using and modifying the tool.
I am drawn to the forward error correction project, as it would allow me to
contribute usefully while exploring ideas I will delve into more deeply in
grad school. I am currently becoming familiar with the repository, and then
I will draft a proposal and ask for feedback. Thank you!

Best,
Kayla
