Hello from a GSoC Student

[Mesutcan Kurt <mesutcank@gmail.com>]

Hello everyone,

I am the GSoC student applied and accepted to Debian GNU/Linux's Python 
MultiBuild project.

First of all, I want to say I'm happy to be here and I want to be more 
involved in Debian GNU/Linux after GSoC.

My proposal is at [1]. As I mentioned before, I will do the Python 
MultiBuild project. 

Here is some decisions we took with my mentor Piotr:

* I will develop my project with GIT (under alioth), the address will be 
mentioned in my next mail.

* I will blog[2] about my progress (an email will be send here as well)
every two weeks. (maybe more often)

* I will write the code in Python 3 and convert it to Python 2.6 (current 
Squeeze Python version) using Python 3 to 2 converter which I will write after
I finished some important tasks on py3multibuild.

* I will focus on building Python extensions for Python 3 then I will backport 
the tool to Python 2.

This email is meant as introduction, my next one will contain more technical 
details.

Please do not hesitate to comment my mails, this tool will be used by you 
guys after all.
