Dear Mr/Mrs,<br>
<br>
my name is Victor Buldakov, I'm a student at Kostroma State<br>
Technological University, Russia.<br>
I would like to take part in "Google Summer Of Code-2011" with a<br>
project on Debian.<br>
<br>
I have an idea to use Symbian mobile phone camera as a webcam.<br>
This project includes two constituents: a phone-"server"(C++ or<br>
Python) and Linux-client (???, V4L2, OpenCV).<br>
Linux-part will be universal, so in the future it will be easily<br>
supported on any android/iphone/maemo/etc phone.<br>
It could be useful to connect phone by USB or Bluetooth.<br>
<br>
I think that Debian is the main project that most Linux distributives<br>
are based on. Debian technologies have also a great impact on other<br>
distributives that's why I would like to cooperate with you and to<br>
work on my project under the aegis of your company.<br>
<br>
I have worked with svn/git, Python, pyS60, C++ and have been using<br>
Debian for 3 years. I think that all that experience and skills will<br>
be useful in the development of the project.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!<br>
<br>
Sincerely yours,<br>
<br>
