[ros-dev] About GSOC 2016

[Олег Брежнев]

Hello everyone,
	My name is Oleg Brezhnev, i am 3rd course student of Software
Engineering in Penza State   University, Russia. It would be very cool
to get some driver programming experience, since recently i got a work,
where driver programming skills will be really useful. 
So i want to implement the AHCI SATA Storage Driver or anything related
to drivers. 
But the problem is i do not have any experience in driver devleopment
besides one chapter of  a small book about NT-drivers, i've bought
today, so i can not estimate amount of work properly. 
I have some experience of user-space C programming, i've wrote several
application like user control app and device manager for my company's
products.
My question is: is it ok to apply on a GSOC with proposal like this
considering this circumstances? I ready to work really hard to learn
all i need during my work and complete the task. 

Sincerely yours, 
Oleg Brezhnev
