[Tcl-gsoc] Hello Everyone

[Mamnun H. B. <ma...@ma...>]

Hi everyone,
This is Mamnun Hassan Bhuiyan. I am interested in working with "Tclhttpd
refurbishment" project as a part of this GSOC-2009 program. As per advice
from Mr. Steve Huntley who is the mentor of that project I am subscrubing to
this list.

I would like to introduce myself to you so the mentors can vote me among the
applicants :) . I am an undergraduate student in Bangladesh University of
Engineering & Technology(BUET) of Computer Science & Engineering(CSE)
Department.

My previous experience with TCL is:
#Phonetic text editor component: This bengali phonetic text editor enables
anyone to get unicode bengali text as he writes the english text
phonetically. This component can be plugged into any existing program. The
algorithm I have developed for the conversion has been ported to other
languages as well(Javascript and CSharp).
#(The Coccinella):Last year I have made a localized version of this
software. I also plugged in the above mentioned phonetic text component. I
changed some of the XMPP protocol handling events for coccinella. Along with
a modified openfire jabber server and a modified sparkweb component I built
an "Enterprise Communication System". This was a freelance work for a
company. I presented it in our university's project show and it won the 1st
prize. Here is some pictures of the event

My previous experience with Networking and Http protocol:
#Java Http server: I made an http server in java . It is a basic server with
one extra special feature of interpreting php files. It can correctly handle
php files by passing it to the php interpreter.

#OSI Layers Implementation: I made a simulator for the 4 layers among the 7
OSI layers. It can simulate physical layer(though a virtual com port), Data
Link Layer, Network Layer(With routing tables using dijkstra's algorithm)
and Transport Layer.

#Apache & Tomcat: I am well familiar with apache & tomcat and their modules.
So I have a good perspective from an end users point of view.

My other projects:
I have worked on other projects as well. I have created a Life Insurance
Management Software. I also created a google streetview like component in
actionscript. I can send some screenshots of those softwares if anyone is
interested.

These are certainly not related to this GSOC project but I am trying to say
is that I love programming. I love opensoure softwares and their
communities. And I would love to give something back to the community.

[Tcl-gsoc] And so it begins

[Steve H. <st...@xh...>]

I've already been contacted by a student wishing to take on the tclhttpd 
refurbish project.  He sounds like a promising candidate.   A CS 
undergraduate at Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology.  
I've suggested that he post to the tcl-gsoc list introducing himself.
