Hi everyone.
I am Jayant Gupta, a B.Tech. student (III Yr. Mathematics
& Computing) from The Indian Institute of Technology,
Guwahati, India, and am enthusiastic to participate in GSoC
under The Eclipse Foundation. I am interested to work on the
idea "Providing Error Markers and Quick Fixes in State Chart
Diagrams"[1] under the eTrice project.
Last year, I participated in GSoC and got the opportunity to
work for The Eclipse Foundation on the idea "Diagram Layout in
eTrice with KIELER"[2] and had a really awesome experience.
Following my previous experience of working with eTrice, I began
with firstly going through a few research papers about ROOM by
Bran Selic and relevant sections of the eTrice User
Documentation. I then went on to study the eTrice Developers'
Wiki and set up a fresh development environment. Currently, I
am analyzing the relevant parts of the code and the
documentation to help myself better understand
the challenges and methodology of completing the project.
As per the skills required for the project, I am fairly
proficient in Java & C/C++ and am very well-verse in Object
Oriented Programming. Also, I am quite familiar with the
prerequisite technologies involved in the project. I have a good
experience of plug in development in Eclipse, the complete
Graphiti framework (on which I worked last year) and am also
familiar with the implementation of the Diagram Editors in
eTrice. Apart from the skills required, I have an immense
interest in the field of Real-Time Software Modeling (ROOM in
particular). This makes me a good candidate for working on this
idea.
Going through the eTrice newsgroup and mailing-lists, one
comes to know that the eTrice community is fast expanding with
new users adding each day. In such a scenario, this idea of
providing error markers and quick fixes while the user is
creating/editing the eTrice Diagrams is very crucial for the
eTrice community and would help the users to speed up
development process and find bugs much earlier than the actual
model execution.
Thus, I extend my candidature for working on this ideas and
assure that if given opportunity, I would work hard and would
make the project a success.
Thanks everyone for your precious time.
Kind Regards,
Jayant Gupta
P.S. I intend to carry on further discussion on the
eTrice-dev[3] mailing list & would periodically post a
summary of our discussion on the soc-dev (as Wayne sir
suggested).
