[Mailman-Developers] Congratulations to our GSoC Students!

[Aamir Khan]

Hi!

I will start first with my introduction.

My name is Aamir Khan. I will be working on improving HyperKitty. *HyperKitty
is Mailman3 archiver, aimed to address issues listed at
ModernArchiving<http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/ModernArchiving>.
For more details, you might want to check out my GSoC proposal[1]. I will
try to blog regularly about my work[2].*

I am 3rd year undergraduate student at IIT Roorkee, major being Computer
Science. I am very passionate about algorithms. Besides what I have been
learning in school, so far I have gained programming experience
by participating in algorithms competitions and also by creating several
pet projects, contributing to open source.

Feel free to mail me with any questions or feedback about my proposal. If
you just want to say hi, that's cool too. I am very excited for my GSoC
project and looking forward to working with all of you!
