Re: Regarding Proposal for GNU octave

[Tamandeep Singh]

Thank you so much for your reply.

I have gone through the important discussion of last year which you provided and I have also joined the GNU octave discourse group. 

I will be sending both of you my proposal by Tuesday. 

Thanking you 

Regards 

Tamandeep

So I sincerely request you to guide me for this project and I will be contributing to GNU octave for more than a year or two. I won't cause you much trouble, just little time of yours on some occasions during the project. Most of the problems occuring during the project, I will handle it myself, so no trouble for you.

Greetings Tamandeep,

Thank you very much for your interest in GNU Octave and the Table
Datatype project.  At the moment, the GNU Octave project is
transitioning all communication from the mailing-list to the Octave
Discourse forum:

https://octave.discourse.group/

Abdallah and I really appreciate discussing the project with you
there.  For example, there you find an interesting discussion from
last year (however, the applicant did not start with the project.):

https://octave.discourse.group/t/gsoc-2021-project-table-datatype-questions/883

If you already want to share a proposal with us, this is pretty welcome as well.

Please avoid any private or personal information in your proposal
(gender, age, private phone numbers, or home addresses).  Email and
(nick)name is enough.  Your eligibility for the program will be
checked by Google and not by Octave.  Especially in a public forum
your privacy cannot be protected at all.

We are really looking forward to discuss with you and to study your proposal.

With best wishes,

Kai
