[syslog-ng] GSoC Introduction

[Tibor Benke]

Dear All,

My name is Tibor Benke, I'm a first year MSc student at Budapest University
of Technology and Economics, where I study Computer Science. I heard about
GSoC and the most interesting organization was the syslog-ng project. I've
professional experience in C/C++, Java, Python and worked with git.

Since my childhood I always wanted to be an engineer. After graduating I
got a certificate of "IT network installer and operator". Then I went to
university, where I specialize in Networks and services, but I concentrate
on designing and writing networked applications. My BSc thesis was to write
a web based network management application in Python.

During the academic years I participated in some competitions. What I'm
most proud of is the national EuroSkills 2013 qualifying rounds, where my
team earned the sixth place in which I was the Linux specialist. I also
have work experience: one summer I patched a network driver in the Linux
kernel, then did some research in the field of Hadoop and Big Data.

In 2013 I contributed to some open source projects, like Log4j2, Logback
and syslog-ng. Along with my studies I lead a group of 60 volunteer
students, who operate the network and server of my faculty's dormitory,
write games, mobile- and other applications.

The project I'm most interested in is "Integration with config management
systems". Since I wrote my thesis in Python, so the Salt part shouldn't be
so hard. I like to learn new languages, so I'm looking forward to enhance
my knowledge by learning Ruby.

Regards,
Tibor Benke
