Hello,

I was brought to this maillist by a link from the OpenPrinting GSOC 
Ideas page 
(http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/gsoc/2012-gsoc-printing-projects).

Especially these project ideas sound interesting to me:

* Lightweight tool for manipulation of PDF files for printing
* Job Ticket API (JTAPI) implementation
* JTAPI (Job Ticket API) JDF Job-Ticket Implementation

Could you please suggest a concrete programming task (e.g. a bugfix, an 
implementation of a simple feature) that I could take care of before 
applying for any of the ideas above?  I would like to get familliar with 
your codebase and see whether I am a competent candidate for any of the 
mentioned projects.

Personal information

-- I'm a student of Brno University of Technology, Faculty of 
Information Technologies, Czech Republic (http://www.fit.vutbr.cz), 
currently in my 4th year of studies.
-- My specialization is "Computer and Embedded Systems".
-- I can offer a basic knowledge and overview of various branches of IT, 
ranging from hardware (FPGAs, MCUs) through both imperative and 
declarative programming (asm, C, C++, Java, Haskell, ..) to databases 
and web programming.
-- I am familiar with C programming and with writing portable code. I 
have experience with programming for various platforms (Win32, Linux, MCUs).
-- I communicate in English fluently.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Best regards,

Jan Matyas
