[haiku-development] Re: Introduction

Welcome to Haiku, Zsolt!

Sounds like you're here for the same reasons as many others. :-)

Hi everyone!

I'd like to join and help out with Haiku, so I'm here to introduce
myself.

Like Kyle, I'm a computer science & engineering student, but from
Hungary. I'm 21, and will be starting my third year in September.

I feel that the university won't give me enough experience to survive
later on, but at least they've taught me C, C++, C#, Java, Verilog and
AVR assembly. I absorbed them fast - even helped out many folks when
they couldn't follow.

I know it's not much, I've written only a handful of, a little cliché
programs (maybe except the Java lemmings-clone made in a team of four
this semester). Yet I think I can understand and learn new things
quickly.

So one of the reasons I'd like to join you is to gain experience. The
other is Haiku itself - I've had some bad fights recently, and I
realized that today's personal computing is drifting in a very wrong
direction. For me, at least. Long story short (well, I could fill a
blog :P), I wish that Haiku will rise up and shine!

Back to formalities, I think I can easily devote 10 hours a week,
probably more while the summer lasts. I've set up a build environment on
Ubuntu Feisty two days ago (after trying Kubuntu, Fedora 7 and Arch),
and have spent some time browsing through the source code today -
tracing the #1020 bug most of the time. I've also started to read the
Programming BeOS ebook weeks ago, to pick up something about the BeOS
API. I think I'd go after some of the easy tasks first, to get
acquainted with the code-base more.


Sorry for the long mail, thanks for reading it.
Keep up the great work!

Greetings:
Zsolt
