Hey, my name is Firas Assad and I'm really interested in being part of VLC development. I'm a senior computer science graduate student at Gulf University of Science and Technology in Kuwait, and my interests include novel writing, movies and filmmaking, travel, punk rock and monkeys. Oh, and programming... of course! I'm competent in C/C++ and Ruby. I also know some Java, C#, Lua, Visual Basic, and Python but I didn't get the chance to use any of them for a long time (aside from VB, but everyone hates VB so..).

I'm also here for Google Summer of Code 2008, but I hope I can still contribute regardless of getting accepted or not. I just need some stuff to put on my CV :P

I'll add more information later.
