I am interested in knowing more about a project listed on FreeBSD GSOC ideas page - *Linux to BSM Conversion Tool* I have a great interest in Computer Systems, specifically operating systems, computer architecture and cloud computing. I did a project on compiler design, wherein I developed a Java compiler in python using PLY library. I have worked on NACHOS to test some of the scheduling algorithms, demand paging techniques, implemented condition variables and semaphores. I did an architecture project to get my hands on over cache hierarchy techniques and branch & target predictors. I am currently working on computer security projects, wherein I have done control hijacking, privilege separation, learnt about several symbolic execution techniques like DART, KLEE & EXE. I have a basic knowledge of compiler design, databases, functional programming, machine learning and computer security as well. You can find my work here: https://github.com/vineetpurswani *Kindly guide me as to how do I start working on this idea? Which bug fix/enhancement should I work on? Expectations in proposal?* Kindly share any details that you would like to share or any questions that you may have for me regarding this GSOC project. Let me know what you think. Thanks a lot. Yours Sincerely Vineet Purswani IIT Kanpur
