<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hello,<br><br></div>I thought I'd introduce myself and perhaps get ideas about how I should proceed for a possible Google Summer of Code position.<br><br></div>
My name is Stephen, and I am a second year University of Windsor student pursuing a Honours computer science and General Mathematics degrees. I haven't really done any open source projects before, so forgive me if I commit any mistakes they are not intentional. :) but I'm a quick learner so I should catch on quick.<br>
<br></div>Obviously being both Computer Science and Math student when I read through DUNE's introduction I found it very interesting, and something I'd love to work on.<br></div><div><br></div>Now I've been teaching myself C++ all year, so I've been implementing data structures with templates using (to the best of my ability) const correctness to encourage good code design, and compatibility. I attempted to make my structures as standard library compliment as possible, however I know enough to know I don't know everything. So I'm really interested in making sure that well I don't know everything about the project I choose it should be just a bit beyond my current abilities so I can continue to expand my skills.<br>
<br></div>Reading the suggested projects, the inserter (project 2) jumped out at me as a project I think I could realistically complete after some research, and the white paper linked was very intriguing. Not to mention Linear Algebra is the branch of math I enjoy the most. :)<br>
<br></div>Currently I've downloaded and built the core modules, and I am experimenting with the dune-istl module.<br>
<div><br></div><div>Sorry for the long email, but I'd appreciate any suggestions you could offer,</div><div>Stephen</div></div>
