Mar 14 11:40:14 <NitinKishoreDesh> Hello everyone, I am Nitin. I have worked for the Indian Space Research Organization, in the OnBoard Computers Division. I have professional experience of over 4 years in both cyclic execution software, as well as Real Time Embedded Systems. Currently I'm a masters student at the ECE dept of Carnegie Mellon University. I'm looking at contributing to the open source community of the beaglebone. I'm looking at the
Mar 14 11:40:14 <NitinKishoreDesh> librobotcontrol for bbAI. I wanted to know how important the project is currently for the community. I believe my experience with some math libraries would help me contribute to this project.
Mar 14 11:49:25 <lorforlinux[m]> Hi Nitin, you posses a very impressive portfolio I must say. Are you looking to contribute as a student or a mentor?
Mar 14 11:50:24 <lorforlinux[m]> <StevenSchrstedt[ "hi"> Hello Steven 😃
Mar 14 11:56:15 <lorforlinux[m]> <NitinKishoreDesh "Hello everyone, I am Nitin. I ha"> I belive you want to contribute as a student but, just wanted to make sure before approaching your queries (As you seem to have a profile of a mentor).
Mar 14 12:08:01 <NitinKishoreDesh> <lorforlinux[m] "I belive you want to contribute "> My experience might be worthy of being a mentor, but I'm still very new to the open source world and commercial electronics, hence I thought maybe GSoC would be a good place to start as a student.
Mar 14 12:08:59 <lorforlinux[m]> Thanks for clearing that out.
Mar 14 12:13:33 <lorforlinux[m]> The librobotcontrol for BBAI project can be taken as a high priority project as the software for BBAI is still maturing and needs this support to gain the attention of the community. I have taken responsibility of mentoring for that project along with jkridner
Mar 14 12:14:30 <lorforlinux[m]> I will try to resolve all your queries regarding the project, please feel free to ask whatever you have in mind.
Mar 14 14:48:11 <NitinKishoreDesh> <lorforlinux[m] "The librobotcontrol for BBAI pro"> I am going through the bbai repository. From the looks of the install script, I can install the library and play with it even on a Linux machine for now. Is that correct? If yes, then I'll do that and we can discuss the specifics of what can be done over the summer so I can prepare a proposal accordingly.
