[gentoo-soc] Shape up linear algebra, proposal

[Óscar Nájera]

Hello everyone,

I'm interested in participating this year in the GSoC, after 5 years of being 
a happy gentoo user I need to contribute back. I started using gentoo because 
it was the only OS that could boot my PC after a bolt of lightning hit my city 
and burned many electronic devices. Gentoo kept my PC working for about 7 
months after it completely crashed and a motherboard replacement was the only 
possible fix. After using gentoo, I was very happy with it's speed, performance 
and the huge change it gives to customize it.

I was looking  at the list of project ideas and one called my attention, the 
"Shape up linear algebra, FORTRAN, and make benchmark suite". I am physicist 
and I'm really interested in this topic, I actually need this for my future 
work so it's an awesome opportunity for me. Has someone further ideas for this 
proposal, to make it into a complete application? Sebástien Fabbro, I bcc'd 
you, are you still interested in mentoring this?

About me: My full name is Óscar Andrés Nájera Ocampo and I'm currently 21 
years old, live in Ecuador and as mentioned before I'm a Physics student with 
a strong focus on simulations. I started doing web-developing while I was in 
High school, programing first in HTML, then PHP, nowdays I program in C, C++ 
for my college assignments.

Thanks for your ideas and collaboration, I would  love to work on this 
assignment and appreciate any help I could get from mentors and other 
community members.

Thanks for reading,
Óscar Nájera
