After going through the ideas list, I was most interested in the= network and OS related projects, as I am familiar with sockets and UNIX AP= Is. In particular, the usbdump, dummynet, and the boot environment manager were= quite fascinating.=20 I was led to understand that the students are encouraged to correspond with= the organization before submitting a proposal, and would like to enquire w= hat is expected in a proposal. Thank You, Vishwas S =C2=A0
