gRavi User Interface Project

Hi,

I will be working with Ravi Madduri as my mentor, to create a browser-based user interface for gRavi. [GSOC page, detailed project description]

My name is Marcus, and I'm a CS theory student, but have a much greater appreciation for concrete implementation and coding than theoretical stuff. The last 2 years I've spent much of my spare time learning the myriad of tech's that make up good web programming: xhtml, css, javascript etc for the server side, and java, ruby on rails, mysql, comet etc on the server side (and been appropriately damaged - my programming language of preference is javascript).

I'm also from Sweden (we've got two! :), but spend most of my time in the US. I've got my own blog at http://feeds.feedburner.com/MarcusWestin, where I cover mostly javascript, OS X and random tech news of interest.

It's exhilarating to be part of the team! I'm looking forward to get to know everyone better, and to create something good over the summer.

Hi everyone!

Hi!

My name is Mattias Lidman, and I'm an undergrad student at the Department of Computer Science at Umeå University in Sweden.

I'll be working on the XIO Compression Driver this summer. This will be the first major project that I work on, so I'm pretty excited about it!

I've also set up a personal blog here. The primary purpose of it will be to as a semi-formal journal about my project, so check it out if you're curious about my progress!

Cheers and good luck to you all!

Hello everyone!

Hi,

My name is William Voorsluys. I'm a first year PhD student in the University of Melbourne, Australia, working in the Gridbus project.
My current research interests are grid computing and virtualization.
Prior to coming to Melbourne, I have worked for three years with grid computing in the OurGrid project, in Brazil.

This is my first participation in the Google Summer of Code. My work will be adding market-based resource management to the Globus Workspace Service, which includes some work on integrating it with OpenNebula.

Good luck for us all.

Cheers,

William.

Hi there!

Hi there!

My name is Joana Matos Fonseca da Trindade, and I am a Computer Science undergraduate student at UFRGS, Brazil. As mentioned by Borja in the previous post, this summer I will be working with SAML Holder-of-key Authentication for Single Sign-On in GridShib.

This topic is of particular interest to me, as I have been working with SAML and other OASIS security standards since November 2007. Before getting accepted on GSoC, I finished a 5-month internship in the Security & Trust Research Group at SAP Labs France, in the context of the SERENITY project. As part of this work, I implemented a library built on top of the Apache Rampart project providing support for XML-Encryption/Signature, as well as SAML-based brokered authentication for SERENITY's workflow prototypes.

Please feel free to send me an email, or to check the links below:

Congratulations to all students accepted, and good luck on your summer projects! :-)
