Join with openssh org: GSOC 2009-Performance improvements

Hi All,
I am Ananda student of university of Moratuwa Sri lanka(www.mrt.ac.lk). I
have worked with SAHNA open source community and have a experience with open
source software as well. I am familiar with C language base soft ware
development through the my university master degree and out source, so that
I have decided to apply for GSOC in this year through your organisation. I
am going to apply for GSOC under "Performance improvement" idea that you
have mention in "http://www.openssh.com/gsoc.html#perf" page. I want to get
experience with your org and good understand of my selected idea. I hope
that you may help me to get a involvement to my selected idea.

Welcome to the project!

I don't think the participating projects can influence who is
selected very much - aren't GSoC deciding that in some magic way?

It's nice to hear from you! I hope you'll find OpenSSH a fun project
to work on if you get the project.

No, Google decide on how many slots each project gets. The project
selects which students they want to fill the slots

Just to describe what is going on -

OpenSSH has requested one student slot for this year's summer of code.
This is our first time, so this is both an experiment and a learning
exercise.

I'm currently quite swamped with questions from prospective students,
but I intend to answer them en-masse on Monday.

Most of the discussion for the GSoC work will be happening on this
mailing list, so please constructive in your comments and tolerant of
someone who, in all likelihood, is less experiences with free software
development and many people here.

I'm looking forward to this!

We've participated in GSoC in other projects where I am involved, and
it is usually a good experience.

Maybe there will also be some project suggestions from interested
students - or is the performance thing the only project we'll
consider?
