Google Summer of Code 2008

[Fred Friedrich]

Hello everybody,

First I like to introduce myself. I'm a student of computer sciences
in Berlin starting at October 2007. For the last two months I deal
with NetBSD/i386 4.0. My task is the documentation of installation and
configuration of NetBSD in networks.

During the exploration of the operating system, I get an introduction
to various services and tools provided directly by the system like
DHCP, CVS, postfix and a lot more. I also get into pkgsrc and
compiling the kernel. Beside that, I could gather information about
how to program in C.

As I'm really attracted by the system design approach and read about
your participation in the Google Summer of Code 2008, I decided to
apply to one of your mentioned projects:
"DHCP client with minimal functionality and size".

I'm glad to receive any feedback for my proposal.

Regards

Fred

But if that doesn't put you off, go for it :)

Thanks

FWIW, it's fine to have multiple proposals for one project,
we'll see which one fits our needs best then. If both are equally
good, we'll see if we can split the work into two disjoint parts, so
no redundant work is done.

That'll be worked out in the proposal-review phase later on, though.

I didn't and won't put dhcpcd forward as a SoC project as it's a complete and
working DHCP client that pretty much meets the requirements.

Thanks
