>    1. The proposed SuperCore API changed, now uses call-outs, as
>    discussed on IRC today.
>    2. Timeline is more detailed, broken in chunks of roughly two weeks.
>    (1 week is more detailed, but 2 weeks is, imho, more accurate)
>    3.  Added fixed deliverables.
>    4. Described method of reporting progress as my personal blog/website
>
> Any feedback is appreciated!

>>>>>> Hello!

>>>>>> 2014 proposal here <http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:Popescu.andrei1991>
>>>>>> . Aside of that, I've also participated with them as  a Google Code-in

>>>>>> specially the freedom to scratch your own itch.
>>>>>>
>>>>>> I was browsing for a project and I came across RTEMS ideas page and
>>>>>> then RTEMS on Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTEMS>soon
>>>>>> after.  I'm interested in Operating Systems of any kind, since they're

>>>>>> decided to have a look. Another factor that contributed to my decision that
>>>>>> I would like to code at RTEMS for GSoC 2015 was that my background is
>>>>>> helpful in this aspect. I've been a kernel developer intern for about 8

>>>>>> to a company producting VoIP software which runs on a RT system.

>>>>>> The project I decided on is Condition Variables
>>>>>> <https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/Projects/Open/Condition_Variables>,
>>>>>> I have at least a general idea about how monitors and condition variables
>>>>>> work and since RTEMS is a single process, multithreaded system, my
>>>>>> understanding is that it's an useful/important feature. Unfortunately, the Resources
>>>>>> URL is broken, but I'll be on IRC most of the time, probably asking
>>>>>> lots of silly questions! I'll (try to) get RTEMS built as soon as
>>>>>> possible.  If you have any suggestions, or tasks  you believe would help me
>>>>>> better understand this project please tell.
>>>>>>
>>>>>> This project, as well as my( probably not entirely correct)
>>>>>> understanding of RTEMS concepts look interesting, I'm excited to be here
>>>>>> and can't wait to build RTEMS to see how it is/how it works. I'm also
>>>>>> curious, on a high level, how RTEMS differs from linux kernel. I hope I'll
>>>>>> be able to tackle this project and complete it succesfully  as it's my
>>>>>> first "close encounter" with a purposely designed rt os!
>>>>>>
>>>>>> Silly question #1, could you tell me a few products that use/rely on
>>>>>> RTEMS? I tried googling for it but was unsuccesful.  Thank you!
