Re: [gsoc] Project Proposal-ShrinkWrap Tasks

Hi Andrew! Thanks for getting back, finally 😃 Yes, I understand that I need to prove myself first and I am totally up for it. I am not yet familiar with the codebase so I would fist correct that flaw. As far as dropping out is concerned, I would like to tell you this : I wont drop out. 😊 I have much to learn and that is why I am here. I also intend to remain a contributor to the project even after GSoC. So shoot whatever proving tasks you have in mind for me. 😊 P.S: I am not familiar with the codebase yet, as I mentioned earlier, so expect a lot of questions about setting up and building the application firstly. I wont bother you too much after that bridge is crossed 😜 (First of which is, can I set up the project on my windows machine or is it better if I do it on Linux?) Thanks, Pawan Sent from Windows Mail From: Andrew Lee Rubinger Sent: ‎Monday‎, ‎March‎ ‎3‎, ‎2014 ‎1‎:‎49‎ ‎PM To: Pawan Dubey Hi, Pawan: So tonight I came across both your tweet and was forwarded this email from our GSoC list, which I suppose was getting filtered out improperly for me. Apologies for the delay, but let's use this email going forward, OK? :) I want to make sure that I can remain responsive to you, and my @jboss.org address receives so much mail that I can't keep up with it on nights and weekends. Short answer: we'd love to have you involved for GSoC and I'll be happy to be your mentor, provided we go forward first with a couple of proving tasks. Unfortunately, the GSoC process has its overhead and we try to pre-qualify our students to ensure that we don't get dropouts halfway through (and then waste what could have been someone else's slot). Are you game if I were to assign you some getting-started tasks for the ShrinkWrap project?
