>>>> Hello!
>>>>
>>>> I'm Andrei(Andrei - Constantin Popescu, more exactly),  a Computer
>>>> Science graduate at Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Romania. I will
>>>> begin my Masters' degree at Vrije University, Amsterdam this fall. During
>>>> the undergraduate studies, I pursued a high diversity in computer science
>>>> skills, from web development, to kernel development. I  took part in GSoC
>>>> 2012 and GSoC 2014, both with BRL-CAD. You can find both the devlogs and my
>>>> 2014 proposal here <http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:Popescu.andrei1991> .
>>>> Aside of that, I've also participated with them as  a Google Code-in mentor
>>>> for the past three years, so you can say I like open source, 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
>>>> complex software products on which so many other applications rely on, so I
>>>> 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
>>>> months at Freescale and I'm currently employed as a C++ software engineer
>>>> 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!
