Hello everyone,
I am vilvanesh k,an undergraduate ,studying
electronics and communication engineering in IIT BHU,Varanasi,India.I
want
to join the GNU Radio community and contribute to the same. Few
http://same.few of my college mate’s awesome experience as a open
source
developer and being a part of the open source community in GSoC were my
primary source of inspiration.I have written a brief note about myself
to
give a better understanding.

and more related sub links.

Searched the entire mailing list archive for advice/instructions to
beginners.

Installed gnu radio and all the dependencies (from the build script(it
was
very helpful))and

I have googled what all can I do with gnu radio, just to understand the
power of it!

Skills and resources:
C++ - I have been learning it for the past two years and have written
programmes in high school.
I have a 24*7access to Asia’s largest cyber library(thousands of
journals
are available,they can help me in conceptual understanding of the
subject)
I can dedicate 4-5 hours daily for the next 14 days and may be more
after
few weeks.
Note:I don’t have any experience in developing softwares,but have done
high
school level programmes in C++.

With the above things under consideration, I kindly request you all, to
give suggestions to me on contributing to the project as a developer.

P.S:If I could get used to the community and become familiar with gnu
radio
development soon enough,I will draft a proposal for GSoC 2015 and I will
be
ready to dedicate my summer for GSoC 2015
Eagerly waiting for a response.

Thanking you,
vilvanesh k.

Hi Vilvanesh!

Welcome to the GNU Radio mailing list; nice to have you here.

Wow, so much enthusiasm, I think we all like you already
So, how has your hands-on experience been so far? Did you like playing
around with GRC, did you find the tutorials [1] O.K.? Is there something
we can improve to give you, as a potential new developer, a good start?

If you want to take a look, we already have a page where we collect GSoC
ideas[2]. Do you like one of these? Do you have something else in mind?
Did you do software defined radio in your studies so far?

Greetings,
Marcus
