Re: [xwiki-devs] [Introduction2] [GSoC]

Hi everyone, I'm Krzysztof Płachno (Christopher or Cristof is also possible to use when addressing me). I'm last year Master Student of Computer Science, specialization Intelligent Systems. I come from Poland, from extremely beautiful city - Cracow (let me know if you show up here be chance:)) Many thanks for accepting me for GSoC in XWiki. Whlist looking for project to apply, I focused to find something in Java, since I have 1year experience of working in IT company as Java Dev. That's how I found XWiki, but when I started reading about it, no longer Java was the only interesting thing about it, but above all the approach of building speed light fast web apps, using ready-made components and scripting in web browser on running system. Sorry, for introducing myself with a bit of delay, but I had recently a small earthquake in my personal stuff. Everything is fine, now so I'm getting down to work! Currently I'm finishing https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-14138. It took me a lot of time so far, since it's quite a deal to run everything for the first time. Many things for tips and help I got on mailing list! What I'm going to do during GSoC is to extend XWiki platform to be able to import extensions from new repositories like: Bintray, Pypi, NPM, what means that also new packages type are to be integrated. It seems quite challenging and so - even more interesting. I hope it'll be a great time and great experience to see how it is to be Open Source Dev, even more, that the project and community are that cool. To contact me - *mail list* or *direct mail* to me is fine: krzysiekplachno(a)gmail.com As regards IRC - I'm still a bit overwhelmed with a waterfall of messages on it, bit I'm planning to integrate myself with it... somehow... Thanks again! Best, Krzysztof
