Meet the Code For Freedom Contest participants

Why did you participate in the Code for Freedom (CFF) Contest?

It gives a good platform for developing and developed engineers thriving to understand and contribute towards OpenSolaris .I have been using Solaris OS for the last six months and I am more inclined to learn operating system concepts in the deeper sense and in real time. Through this contest, apart from contributing to Open Solaris, I am also gaining knowledge in the field of my choice.
Please give us details of your project for the Code for Freedom Contest.

As of now, I am contributing to OpenSolaris application layer bug fixing, kernel layer bug fixing and driver migration to Open Solaris
What in your opinion do such contests help in?

Any Open Source project helps in making a better programmer. It also helps in learning the dynamics of Open Source, and will help all students who want to know more on Open Source. It will help to solve the queries such as what is open source? What is the use of open source? etc..
Give us your thoughts on Sun Microsystems as a propagator of Open Source technologies

It is all about the quality of work, they want to implement in Open source communities and they are doing a great job of it. Sun is doing a lot to give more opportunities to inspire innovative ideas from students.
How important is open source technology for students?

As student of engineering streams we learn all core subjects in computer science. But we never know what will it be in actual implementation or how it may look. Best example may be semaphores, every one reads it but most students may really not know its actual uses or actual implementation. Over all open source will give us actual picture about the subjects as well as platform for new ideas, which we always hesitant to show in colleges.
