Hey! I thought I'd take the time to introduce myself since I'm interested in applying to XBMC for the Google Summer of Code and you guys mentioned it might be a good idea
I'm currently a Junior in Computer Science and Engineering. My interests are primarily related to systems programming and signal processing(this is where XBMC comes in). I thought that a GSoC project for a media player or codec would be right down my alley as it would help me expand my skills a a programmer as well as expand my knowledge in 2D signal processing. XBMC caught my eye as I remembered using it quite frequently back in the day(sadly, I have not made much use of it since I put my Xbox out to pasture.) The project that most interests me at the moment is the implementation of hardware h.264 encoding(in fact, I think I will also be submitting a proposal for x.264 as well).
Well, that's enough about me I guess. Feels extremely weird making a public post about myself. Anyways, I look forward to speaking with some of you in the future, and will give one of those qualification tasks a try.
