Re: [ros-dev] GSoC 2016: USB 3.0 Support

[Vardan Mikayelyan]

Hi Minas,

Thank you for response, I am ready to accept any help and advises. For me
is very important to extend my professional network and to have many
connections with experts of my sphere.
I will wait on ReactOS Core team feedback and maybe I'll have chance to ask
you for help while preparing application for GSoC 2016.

Best regards,
Vardan.
