OT: I was accepted in Google Summer Of Code.

[Andre Garzia]

Hello Folks,

I am pleased to say that I was accepted as a student in the google  
summer of code program. For those that don't know, the summer of code  
is an initiative from google that works like this: Google approve a  
number of mentoring organizations, students submit projects to this  
organizations, some students are selected and will pass the summer  
implementing such project, and google pays for it! :-D

This year 6,200 students applied and ~900 were selected, and I am one  
of them!!!! :-D

I will be working with the Haiku Operating System project <http:// 
haiku-os.org> which was a pet project of mine since forever. Haiku is  
a free implementation of an OS that is binary compatible with BeOS  
from Be Inc and it is much like old BeOS. My task will be implement a  
network preferences application, like the network settings prefs  
panel from Mac OS X. Haiku has a young tcp/ip stack and while Haiku  
is a full blown GUI Operating System, it lacks such preference panel.  
I'll spend the next summer implementing that (as well as my other  
projects and contracts).
