Re: [Bluez-devel] Welcome to BlueZ

[Firas Assad <hayolist@gmail.com>]

Hello, my name is Firas Assaad and I'm one of the students working on a 
BlueZ project for Google Summer of Code 2008. This will be a great 
opportunity to get involved in some serious project and to learn all 
sorts of new skills. I'm relatively new to the free software scene so I 
hope you tolerate me being dumb often. :P

My project is HFP Emulation, which aims to implement the Hands-Free 
Profile (HFP) to allow the computer to work as a hands-free audio 
device. I'd mainly implement the hands-free unit role in gateway.c based 
on the HFP specifications. It sounds like a fun project right now, but I 
wonder if I'd still think that in three months (hopefully I would...!)

I'm on the IRC channel as much as I could, I use the nick 'otarid'. I'm 
a Palestinian living in Kuwait (just south of Iraq), which makes my time 
zone +3 UTC all around the year (no daylight saving time here).

I'm fairly busy currently, as most students would be (exams, projects, 
etc.), so I might not be too productive. I should have a lot of free 
time by June (could be as far as 10th of June, not sure yet) and can 
focus all my energy on the project then. I'll still try to do research 
and contact my mentor to understand things better before coding begins. 
Hopefully it'd be a fun and useful experience to all involved. It's nice 
to be part of this community, and I hope to get the most of it.
