The intersnhip itself is only 3 months, afterwards i have to write a
thesis. But if i like it i will probably keep working on it. :)

Well, i have 4 years of experience in scheme. :)
3 years C/C++/java. I have never worked on kernels, but i'm a fast
learner. (reading a lot of books about it at the moment)
But what i would work on would need to be worth an internship, i don't
think porting programs to the hurd will be allowed by my professor.
