Hi all,
I'm Aaron Xiao from Peking University, Beijing, China. I'm interested in
the i18n projects for GSoC 2014, especially the <UniversalLanguageSelector
fonts for Chinese wikis>. I'm writing proposal for it currently. It will be
finished in 2 or 3 days.
I have contacted DChan and Liangent a week ago. Here are some personal
information copied from the previous self-introduction mail. Hope to see
your feedback, especially when I finish the proposal :)
*About me: *
2007~2011 B.S. in Computer Science @ Peking University
2011~2014 M.S. in Information Security @ Peking University
See more information on [1].
*Related Experience:*
[GSoC]
I have participated in GSoC twice, and have contributed code to Wireshark,
Blender, OGRE. So I'm familiar with open source culture, and know a bit
about how to play well with the community.
[I18N]
Specially, my work in GSoC 2011 was to build the i18n system for Blender,
See [2] for details. We also built the translators' community. I'm still
one of the admin currently. See [3].
[PHP, Web frontend]
I was the admin of
http://zone.pku.edu.cn before, but it cannot be visited
outside the campus.
Some other web apps I developed: [4] using PHP, [5] using Django. So I know
a little about web techs. I can learn new knowledge fast if I need it.
[Chinese characters]
Of course, my mother tongue :)
*About Time:*
- For Proposal
Actually I just finished the FOSS ASIA conference on 3rd Mar. And now I'm
taking a trip around the Southeast Asia. So I don't have much time before
13th. But I'll try my best to discuss the project with you and learn about
the information. Then submit the proposal ASAP.
- For the Project
I'll graduate on early July, and then wait for my H1B visa to come into
force in October. So my full-time window is from July to September.
According to the GSoC schedule, I can only work as a part-time job before
mid-term, and work for full-time before final-term. But I promise to finish
the feature on-time, and push it forward to be released finally ( Even
after the GSoC event, of course. )
- After the Event
I'm interested in I18N projects. I'm always trying to promote great open
source projects to Chinese, as well as other non-English users. So maybe I
can deal with the other i18n related things after the event, and keep going
along with the community :)
