:I was instrumental in introducing Linux in my undergraduate CS department back in 2001. I have been wanting to contribute to Open-source ever since. I had dreamed of making significant contributions when I quit my corporate job and joined an NGO as the IT manager. But my time there was spent in developing and deploying the IT infrastructure using 100% Open-source software (Plone, Django, Zope, MySQL, Apache, TeX, Ubuntu). My deep desire to contribute and be part of the community would often turn to guilt, especially when I would be awed by the quality of some feature in the Open-source software stack I use every day (Linux has been my Primary OS since 2002).

I am back in school doing my CS Masters now and I think this summer, this SoC could enable me to finally contribute to the community as a Open-source developer.
