About GSoC project "Large dataset manager".

[Roy <omes@omes.org>]

Hello everybody,

I'm very interested in the GSoC project "Large dataset manager", and
would very much like to apply for this.

Here is some info about myself in a semi-CV form based on
http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2009/StudentApplicationTemplate:
Name: Roy Hvaara
Email: This address, omes@omes.org or roy.hvaara@gmail.com
Background: I'm a second year medical student abroad. I'm originally
Norwegian, but study in Hungary. I've been using debian for about 3-4
years now, and think it's the best distro I've used so far. I started
using linux about 6 years ago with slackware... As you might
understand I quickly changed to something with a better package
manager; gentoo. I still think portage is a great manager, but the
time it takes to compile everything from scratch simply outweighs the
benefits. A few friends introduced me to debian, and here I am.

I've been doing php, perl and shell scripting for some time, and I'm
slowly learning c. My studies takes up most of my time.

I think perl is the most suited for this task, and getData is also in perl.

I think this project is really interesting, and I would love to spend
my summer on it. I have some ideas on how to accomplish a nice result,
and I'll continue thinking on it until summer starts. I can write more
about them in a different post if you're interested. This is something
I would love to do even if not for SoC.

Exams and other commitments: My exam period starts on the 18th of May,
but I will work hard to get done with my exams as soon as possible,
and even harder to make up for any time I might lose on my project.

After the summer: I've always wanted to manage a couple of packets,
but during the semester I have very limited time, and I don't want to
start something I can't finish.

Would anyone on this list be willing to be my mentor? Is there
anything else I should do to apply for this?
