[Systers-dev] [GSOC] Introduction/Application: Douglas Soares de Andrade

[Douglas Soares de Andrade]

Talking about that, i would like to enter GSOC as a student.

I looked at various mentoring organizations and i liked systers because 
two reasons:

- Has tasks for a first timer
- Brazil has a strong group in opensource communities that support women 
in computing (linuxchicks brazil)

So im really looking forward to participate, what does it take ? (it is 
my first gsoc application)

I have strong skills in Python and i work with it since 2004, mainly 
with Zope, Plone and now (for about a year, with Django).

Here are some of my involvement with opensource communities:

- Ports of C++ examples of Qt to PyQt (C++, Python and Qt)
- Lots of codes for aur (http://aur.archlinux.org) (PHP)
- Quite some work in web2py (http://www.web2py.com) (Python)
- Some fixes to products in Plone Collective (Python)
- I was one of the archlinux developers for 3 year (left to dedicate 
some time to family and studies).
- Did some fixes to a few wordpress modules (PHP)
- Also released some products of my past work company (liberiun, in 
bitbucket)

Now a little bit about myself:

Im brazilian, 27 years old, married with three beautiful children (yan, 
yasmin and ygor, so we are know in geeky terms as family 3y+2), i love 
to have then by my side, i like to listen to world music, like martials 
arts (brown belt in judo) and finally, i like to meditate, walk on green 
zones and i love nature.

About the projects, i would python any task that require Python 
expertise and i saw some moinmoin tasks that i could take, could you 
talk a bit more about the tasks ? Specifically, the ones i could take ? 
Or what you expect ?

I want to support the development in systers after GSOC too, as it is a 
way to help support systers cause.

Thanks for taking you time to reading me and congrats for work, it is 
really needed in computing field.
