[gnome-love] Introducing myself

[Varad Gautam <varadgautam gmail com>]

Hi everyone!

I'm currently a student at Birla Institute of Technology and Science - Pilani, India. I'm interested in participating in GSoC-2013, and would like to contribute to GNOME project. It would be great if someone can provide me something to start working on.

My description is as follows:

Education: I'm in my first year, pursuing Electronics Engineering

Programming Skills: I'm Comfortable in Python, Java and C. I've programmed GUIs using Qt and Swing.

GNOME Fields of Interest: I'd like to work on-
1. Auditing the RSS memory usage of GNOME core libraries and then integrating that to the gnome-system-monitor

2. Making libnotify accessible to applications for their own use.

3. Creating a module which, after a system crash/abrupt shutdown, restores the desktop state to what it was, when a user logs in.          This can be made as  an add-on to the preexisting gnome-session-manager, which already has the ability to save sessions at the user's choice.

Thanks.
