I live in Honolulu Hawaii, I enjoy Surfing, Swimming, Sun and Code. I am working on my BS in Computer Science at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and minoring in Geography. Next year will be my senior year. I have taken courses in concurrent programming as well as networking. Next year I will be taking an operating systems course. I also have some experience in machine architecture and optimization. My current side project is writing an application for the Geography Department, that is a complete suite of tools for stereogrammetry.
Personal Profile Ma Jie Brief bio My name is Ma Jie, And Jie is my given name. I'm a senior college student from China. Although not majored in Computer Science, I still love to do computer programming in my spare time. I have a National Computer Rank Examination certificate on computer network technology and got third prize of a national Java programming competition. The PoorMan server of Haiku is my first contribution to the open source world.
Personal Profile Johannes Wischert Brief bio - I'm a computer science student living in Germany. I'm 25 years old now. I wrote my first program with 8 or 9 years or so and never stopped since then... After my studies I want to work somewhere in the embedded systems development but by now I enjoy my studies and take my time to finish. Project idea information Project title - Port the Haiku Kernel to ARM-Architecture List of project goals - generic u-boot Bootloader using the u-boot apis as far as possible to ease porting to other platforms that use u-boot Kernel that runs on the arm-processor and supports all applicable features that the x86 kernel has Device driver for at least the SD-card and the Serial-Port Working system running on a Beagleboard or similar device Project description - To get the system running on an ARM-CPU we first need a working Haiku ARM toolchain to compile the code I already got the toolchain to run and produce working binaries (tested under qemu) so this part of the system already works more or less.

Brief biography:
I am currently in my third year studying Computer Science at Rennes 1 University in France.
I have some experience with development thanks to several academic projects, chiefly written using the Java and C languages.
Our first big project used an obscure language called “oRis”, an object and agent-oriented language developed as part of the doctoral thesis of Fabrice Harrouet. The project’s objective was to design a simulation of pathfinding robots, with basic behaviour and capable of cooperating to achieve goals in a virtual maze. This project enabled us to learn how to manage a project using Subversion, and how to organise its development.
The project was managed at this page:

Hello world ! As you know, I am one of the selected students for this year summer of code. In this post I will introduce myself and give some details about my project.
My name is Adrien Destugues, some of you may know me as PulkoMandy as i’ve been lurking on the irc channel and mailing lists for some time. I already applied for the Summer of Code and Haiku Code Drive last year but unfortunately I was not selected.
Context Imagine the release just got out the door; what needs to be ready at this point to get everything running smoothly ?... Newcomers We need some structure to welcome newcomers (developers and others) effectively. I think many -- everything is relative -- people with various skills will come and may ask things like : Where can I help ? I want to port [insert favorite software from linux] !
Greetings,
I’m proposing myself as a release coordinator for the upcoming Alpha Release, and here are the highlights of the plan.
First, this plan shouldn’t be applied before those conditions are met :
the LiveCD works quite good (with no major issues left). My understanding of that topic is that we still need the FS overlay (that allows attributes over iso9660) to support live queries. If there is anything more to add to this point, please comment.
According to my resume, I’ve been contributing to Haiku since 2002. I don’t remember how I determined that start date, and GMail is only five years old so searching that does not provide me with an answer either. What I do know is that I feel a strong connection with this project. Which really makes it all that harder to part.
I remember I started by writing a naive proposal about internationalization back when this was still OpenBeOS. You should know that at the time I was sixteen years old, so I never really knew BeOS, and I just came from the translation team from KDE. I left that project in search of something bigger, more integrated, more … I think we have all been there. BeOS seemed like a materialization of that dream. Only, Be Inc. already turned into ashes when I started my quest. A bunch of silly coders with a vision were determined to continue that dream. Little did they know that seven years later their code would boot on many machines - even though mine right now seems to be left out of the fun. My proposal on internationalization, however, never came to materialize.
Rule #1: never set deadlines when you’re moving houses. Rule #2: no, they won’t reconnect the Internet on a timely fashion, so don’t count on it. Telcos make no distinction between “worst case scenario” and “average turnaround time”. Rule #3: by Murphy’s law, don’t plan on spending some minutes of your lunch time at work writing the blog entry you promised. Your boss will ask you favours if s/he has the slightest suspicion that you’re idling.
Haiku booth at SCaLE 2009
After a long week of chronic procrastination, here is finally my report from the recent SCaLE conference. The 7th Southern California Linux Expo, familiarly known as SCaLE 7x, was held at the Westin Hotel Los Angeles Airport Hotel on February 20th through the 22nd, and Haiku had its booth for the third year in a row. SCaLE is a bit special for me, as it was the first show that I did for Haiku (back in 2007) and because that's where Haiku made its debut at a big open source conference; I personally view this first appearance combined with the now renowned Haiku Tech Talk that we gave at the Google Mountain View offices soon after (Google video available here) as a sort of turning point for a project coming out of obscurity and starting to make it in front of the eyes of the world. Melancholic aspects aside, SCaLE is a popular open source event that combines abundant and rich speaker tracks with an exhibit floor that has a healthy mix of open source projects and businesses, so it is a great place to raise awareness and promote the project among a small but well qualified audience of mainly geeks and business people both involved in open source.
