Hi, I am Roopal, an undergraduate student from IIIT, Hyderabad, India. I would like to express my candidature as an applicant for GSOC, 2015. This is my first time contributing to an open source organization. I have been studying the list of ideas proposed so far and "Boost.uBLAS a library for matrix computations" has caught my attention. Before contacting you, the following is the spade work I have done so far : 1.) The Panda Libraries http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/dev/generated/pandas.DataFrame.html 2.) R package http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/data.table/index.html Apart from the competency test(which I believe, will be submitted at the proposal time), what are your expectations from me and what can I do to prove my seriousness for the candidature before the proposal deadline? I will be joining the IRC channel as soon as my college proxy starts to work(A good time to invest in VPN! :P ) Cheers, Roopal
