On wednesday, Bilkent University Computer Club ( BUCC) organized a linux kernel seminar. As a general secretary of club, I were there to help registration and because of my interest in Linux. However, it was the most awful seminar which I have attended so far. The talker used a boring slide show to present the important points(!). However, the background was just a plain penguin and it has never changed. The tone of his voice was very stable and sleepy. After the second period of the seminar, there were only 3 or 4 people rather than the club members. After the real presentation, the talker has demonstrated a bit of compilation, but we could not see the end of it:) I thank to the one who insists on inviting this talker.
On the GSoC 2008 side, the project I applied is very popular that 14 people have applied so far. It looks depressing. Nevertheless, it is not a problem for me, because I have already started to learn lots of things about concurrent programming and testing mechanisms. Today, I went to the library to search about the books related to the project. They are pretty good but quite out of date. I will probably need the new versions for further details. There is no chance other than waiting.
