Hello,

My name is Maria-Alexandra Minc=C4=83 and I am a second-year student at the
Faculty of
Automatic Control and Computer Science, Department of Systems Engineering,
the
Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Rom=C3=A2nia. I am very interested in
contributing to OpenAFS as part of this year's Google Summer of Code.

To get started, I have already submitted a small patch on Gerrit which
fixes several pointer type warnings related to afs_int32/afs_uint32
mismatches that I noticed during my first build of the project. You can
find the patch here: https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/16723/

I am currently doing some research and trying to decide between three
project ideas that have really caught my interest. I would like to ask what
is the preferred way of communication, via this mailing list or on the IRC
chat?

Also, are there any other tasks you would recommend for a newcomer that
could help me gain a better understanding of the project?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Maria-Alexandra Minc=C4=83
