[ros-dev] [GSOC] NTFS driver improvements

[Pratik Singhal]

Hello all,
I am Pratik Singhal, a 3rd year undergraduate student studying Computer
Science studying in BITS-Pilani, Goa Campus, India.
I want to pursue the project NTFS Driver Improvement project as a part of
Google summer of code 2016.

I have previously participated in Google summer of Code 2015 for FreeBSD
operating system and have done some kernel hacking before.(
https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2015/CubieBoardSupport)
I have also made a mini operating system of my own.

I am sure, that the experience I gained while previously for FreeBSD  will
certainly help me in understanding the ReactOS code base quickly which will
be useful for the project.  I don't have any significant experience on
working with file systems before, but I am confident that with some
guidance from fellow developers  I will be able to learn new things which
will help in  completion of the project.  Also, I haven't had any access to
Windows source code , so that shouldn't be a problem.

We will have to figure out concrete goals of the project, full term and mid
term deliverable and a plan for completion of project, if it is to be
selected for Google summer of Code.

It'll be great if somebody, could mentor me for this project.

Thanks,
Pratik Singhal
