Help with Summer of Code

[Georgeta Nistor]

My name is Mihai Nistor. I am 47 and bored. I have degree in electronics and no experience in programming. I have build a web page in HTML and in C, I was not able to pass pointers. I used to have a "dream machine" with windows 95 beta version using freeware for upgrades. In 97-98 I was frustrated by Linux Caldera and Mandrake. Now I run Ubuntu on 2 computers (basic no printer, scanner and web cam), on one I have lost the boot option for Ubuntu (I have install Win XP after Ubuntu on the same HDD 20GB for each Operating System). Before I have used Partition Magic under win 95. I have one hour a day free for computer and more in weekend. It is this enough to participate in Summer of Code?
Thanks
Mihai Nistor
PS: let the beauty to be in the eye of the beholder. Judge programs by their functionality and compatibility with different Linux versions (Debian, Red Hat, SUSE, Ubuntu). My kids accept Ubuntu except the fact that they need yahoo messenger for chat (I will install Debian) and to play Diablo II (dual boot with windows).
