Hi,<br><br>My name is Linus Wallgren. I'm interested in the locality project for GSoC 2010 and would like to introduce myself.<br><br>I'm
currently studying Computer Science at the Royal Institute of
Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. This is my third year and I'm
currently working on my bachelor thesis and will begin my masters
degree next term.<br>
<br>I participated in GSoC last year when i wrote a command line interface for SIP-Communicator ( <a href="http://sip-communicator.org/" target="_blank">http://sip-communicator.org/</a>
) to enable users to do various tasks directly from the CLI in order to
make it easier for scripts to interface with SIP-communicator. For
example could it be used for automatic calling or sending of messages.<br>
<br>The first time I heard of Maemo was when the hype around the N900
started and I knew I had found what I for so long had been looking for
as soon as I got in contact with the community around Maemo and saw how
everything was handled and how helpful and knowledgeable everyone was.<br> <br>I
feel that the locality project will be a great help to many users and
there are a wide variety of applications for it. I have been thinking
about developing an application such as this by myself but have as of
yet not had the time to get started. Example use-cases range from
changing telepathy status depending on location to alter the frequency
of mail updates depending on battery status and connection type. <br>
<br>The fact that the project involves working with so many parts of
the system means that I have a lot of opportunities to learn. The
project would also give me great insight into how development on Maemo
works.<br><br>
I go under the nick ecksun both in the forums and on freenode, feel free to contact me :)<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
