Dear mentors,
I just submitted my project proposal for the Google Summer of Code [1]. The
projects implements the idea of Sébastien Fabbro of an automated benchmark
suite for numerical libraries. I don't ensure that I won't change something
in the following few houres, but everything relevant is already there.

I have a request for everyone interested on this field: as you can read in
my proposal, I project to benchmark numerical libraries that implement
standard interfaces such as BLAS, sparse BLAS, LAPACK, BLACS, ScaLAPACK,...
As they are quite a few, I'd like to receive a feedback regarding the most
used interfaces and therefore the most required benchmarks. So, even if you
are not directly interested on this project, you could have a look and post
comments with your opinion. Think of it as a tiny survey...

Following Donnie's suggestion [2], I have not yet closed a bug, which was
one of the requirements. I will care of it in the next few days,
and I heartily promise that I won't just work on a single bug, but I will
try to continously begin with my bugfix experience within Gentoo.

Best,
Andrea Arteaga
