Hi, I’m Ankur Sethi. I’m a first year Information Technology student at Indraprastha University, New Delhi. I will be working on a full text indexing and search application for Haiku Code Drive 2009.
I use Mac OS X as my primary OS. Before I switched to the Mac, I had been an Ubuntu user for four solid years. I first read about Haiku on OSNews back in 2007 (my profile says my account is 1 year 36 weeks old), and I was hooked.
Hello Haiku World, I’m Tom Fairfield and I’ve been chosen to work on a project for the Code Drive this summer. You’ll see me around IRC and elsewhere as fairfieldt or AntiRush. I’m a 4th year computer science major at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio.
I’ve been interested in operating system development for quite some time and Haiku is a great looking project in that regard.
The project I proposed and was chosen to complete is a Network Services Kit for Haiku.
The work on the Locale Kit as part of the Summer of Code has already started :) This week we have been working on proper integration of my work in the Haiku tree. So you can now checkout Haiku from svn and get the Locale Kit as part of it. Of course, some parts are still broken (or not yet written), but some of the tests seems to be already working.
Just thought we’d let you know that, Haiku-Files is now hosting GCC4 builds of Haiku in both RAW and VM image formats.
You can obtain these builds in the usual directories and we’ve updated the RSS feeds as well.
We’ve also fixed the VMX file that is distributed with the pre-alpha images to have the correct virtual hard disk name. Sorry for this oversight, I wasn’t aware of it, until I was playing around with VMware Fusion last night.
Greetings one and all! I am Obaro Ogbo, one of the students selected for GSoC 2009. I also use the name nastee on irc and on Haiku Bug Tracker. I am a 3rd year student of Computer Science and Technology at Bells University of Technology Ota, Nigeria, and it appears I’m the first ever Nigerian GSoC student :-).
I began programming with Java, then learnt C before studying C++. I’ve done little PHP and Perl coding, however I’m learning Lisp presently.
I live in Honolulu Hawaii, I enjoy Surfing, Swimming, Sun and Code. I am working on my BS in Computer Science at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and minoring in Geography. Next year will be my senior year. I have taken courses in concurrent programming as well as networking. Next year I will be taking an operating systems course. I also have some experience in machine architecture and optimization. My current side project is writing an application for the Geography Department, that is a complete suite of tools for stereogrammetry.
Personal Profile Ma Jie Brief bio My name is Ma Jie, And Jie is my given name. I'm a senior college student from China. Although not majored in Computer Science, I still love to do computer programming in my spare time. I have a National Computer Rank Examination certificate on computer network technology and got third prize of a national Java programming competition. The PoorMan server of Haiku is my first contribution to the open source world.
Personal Profile Johannes Wischert Brief bio - I'm a computer science student living in Germany. I'm 25 years old now. I wrote my first program with 8 or 9 years or so and never stopped since then... After my studies I want to work somewhere in the embedded systems development but by now I enjoy my studies and take my time to finish. Project idea information Project title - Port the Haiku Kernel to ARM-Architecture List of project goals - generic u-boot Bootloader using the u-boot apis as far as possible to ease porting to other platforms that use u-boot Kernel that runs on the arm-processor and supports all applicable features that the x86 kernel has Device driver for at least the SD-card and the Serial-Port Working system running on a Beagleboard or similar device Project description - To get the system running on an ARM-CPU we first need a working Haiku ARM toolchain to compile the code I already got the toolchain to run and produce working binaries (tested under qemu) so this part of the system already works more or less.

Brief biography:
I am currently in my third year studying Computer Science at Rennes 1 University in France.
I have some experience with development thanks to several academic projects, chiefly written using the Java and C languages.
Our first big project used an obscure language called “oRis”, an object and agent-oriented language developed as part of the doctoral thesis of Fabrice Harrouet. The project’s objective was to design a simulation of pathfinding robots, with basic behaviour and capable of cooperating to achieve goals in a virtual maze. This project enabled us to learn how to manage a project using Subversion, and how to organise its development.
The project was managed at this page:

Hello world ! As you know, I am one of the selected students for this year summer of code. In this post I will introduce myself and give some details about my project.
My name is Adrien Destugues, some of you may know me as PulkoMandy as i’ve been lurking on the irc channel and mailing lists for some time. I already applied for the Summer of Code and Haiku Code Drive last year but unfortunately I was not selected.
