gEDA-dev: GSoC 2008: Gnucap Proposal

[Wesley Roach]

Greetings Developers,

My name is Wesley Roach, and I am currently pursuing a degree in Electrical
and Computer Engineering in Boston, MA, USA.  I recently stumbled across the
GSoC program while looking for information on Open Source development, and
would like to be a part of the gEDA development team for the summer. (And
hopefully beyond.)  While I realize that it's a bit late in the application
process to begin any introductions, I hope that it won't be a negative
reflection on my proposal.

More specifically, I am most interested in developing behavioral modeling
functions for Gnucap.  I have a strong background in mathematics and firm
foundation in C++ programming, and I am confident that with some research
and mentoring I would be able to effectively integrate these functions into
a library for use in the gEDA package.  I have a basic understanding of the
noise functions, and mathematically speaking I have a good understanding of
Laplace transforms which I see are in need of being developed for Gnucap.

These functions are something that I could provide as individual
deliverables throughout the summer, which I feel is best for allowing
evaluation, revision, and improvements as needed.  I am excited to begin my
involvement with gEDA, and I am open to any suggestions, comments, or
questions that you may have.  Also, what would you recommend for any
necessary background, such as publications/information regarding the
functions (noise, transition, slew), and/or their implementation in gEDA?

Regards,
Wesley Roach
