Hope that it doesn't disturb you or bring any inconveniences. Being a GCI student, it has been great to be able to work with you, though I am sure you have found that often you are doing most of the work because I am not sure about how to do the task. I think the greatest prize during this experience is in learning. When I started on this journey, I hadn't known how to build a project, how makefiles work and how to compile a program. With lots and lots of help from especially Dr Joel as well as all the other mentors guiding me through finishing the tasks, I have learnt so much.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Admittedly, it has been really tough because I live on the other side of the planet and timezone difference is the worst. Furthermore having quite a lot of other commitments means that I am often working through the night and getting only about 4 hours of sleep each day. I tried my best to debug as much as possible and do tasks with the most effort to reduce the time that you need to amend them so you can do the more pertinent ones. It can be seen that obviously it wasn't the best because I still had lots and lots of questions, things I don't know and just lots and lots of bugs. Really sorry because Dr Joel was doing lots of debugging I couldn't catch or fix. All in all, it was indeed quite tough and it has really been the mentors help and encouragement that has helped me pull through.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I have been participating in GCI for 5 years now, and this year is going to be my last. Putting my focus entirely this GCI on RTEMS has never made me regret because I has been so cool to contribute to a real-time operating system. If there's one thing for sure, I am definitely going to be back for GSoC next year. Thank you for quite the experience and see you again soon!</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Yours faithfully,</div><div dir="auto">Zenon (zehata)</div></div>
