Hi all,

I am Shonali Balakrishna from Bangalore, India. I am going to be starting graduate school(MSc.) at TU Delft this fall and wish to participate in Google Summer of Code 2014 as a part of Linaro.

I am an Electronics and Telecommunications engineering graduate(2008-2012) from PESIT, Bangalore and I'm currently working in Oracle India, on automation/scripting for refresh(cloning) and network related tasks in their Cloud Division.

I am proficient in programming/scripting in C, C++ Java and Perl. I am also proficient in Linux networking and systems programming and have sound knowledge of TCP/IP(have completed CCNA certification as well). Most importantly, I enjoy learning and am always willing to learning something new.

I am interested in working on the project - "Run lightweight IP stack on top of Open Data Plane" and intend to apply for this project through GSOC 2014. I have been familiarizing myself with the Open Data Plane project and source code. I am working on a project proposal for the same and would like to run it by you for feedback when I'm done.

I would be extremely grateful for any pointers or links to resources you could provide me with, that would help me with this project.

Thank you for your time.

Best Regards,
