Subject: [Bluez-devel] Welcome to BlueZ

Hi GSoC'ers,

I should have sent this email earlier, but anyway...

First of all: Congratulations to all!

Now, to the boring part...

As there are some BlueZ developers that aren't yet fully aware of that
projects are
included in Google Summer of Code, i would like that each of one of
you could send
an email to the bluez-devel list with a few lines explaining the
project you are
working on.

It would be also nice if you sent some info about yourselves, like: nick on IRC,
where you are from, timezone, name (first name/last name/nick) to use
in emails and
private msgs.

Like it is said in the GSoC timeline we are in the community bonding
period, I think
a great way to start this is: to get the CVS version, play with it,
read the code
(and/or spec, if aplicable) and have some problems ;-) . Other ideas are very
much welcome.

Let the fun begin,

Cheers,

Hello, my name is Firas Assaad and I'm one of the students working on a
BlueZ project for Google Summer of Code 2008. This will be a great
opportunity to get involved in some serious project and to learn all
sorts of new skills. I'm relatively new to the free software scene so I
hope you tolerate me being dumb often. :P

My project is HFP Emulation, which aims to implement the Hands-Free
Profile (HFP) to allow the computer to work as a hands-free audio
device. I'd mainly implement the hands-free unit role in gateway.c based
on the HFP specifications. It sounds like a fun project right now, but I
wonder if I'd still think that in three months (hopefully I would...!)

I'm on the IRC channel as much as I could, I use the nick 'otarid'. I'm
a Palestinian living in Kuwait (just south of Iraq), which makes my time
zone +3 UTC all around the year (no daylight saving time here).

I'm fairly busy currently, as most students would be (exams, projects,
etc.), so I might not be too productive. I should have a lot of free
time by June (could be as far as 10th of June, not sure yet) and can
focus all my energy on the project then. I'll still try to do research
and contact my mentor to understand things better before coding begins.
Hopefully it'd be a fun and useful experience to all involved. It's nice
to be part of this community, and I hope to get the most of it.

Here are some links of interest:
My Google Summer of Code project page:

A blog I set up for it: http://randomgsoc.blogspot.com/

Regards,

Firas Assaad
