Re: [ros-dev] Summer of Code

[Brandon Turner]

Hello,

You sound just like me, grade, gpa, experience, etc...  :)

If you want to take a more challeneging task perhaps you could look into 
making a 100% windows complaint native app.  I mean we have a smss 
already but it isnt exactly windows complaint.  It would be useful down 
the road.  Or maybe a logon system with winlogon and gang. 

Do you ever use IRC, if so whats your handle?  If not, you should join 
us sometime in the near future and we can talk more.
