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 :)
