Scope of interest in ReactOS Development: win32k and related, 64 bit port

About Me

I am a physics student from Kiel/Germany. Before I came to ReactOS, I had some basic Programming knowledge, mostly Pascal, VB, Assembler and after my informatics studies a little Java. Don't really know when I first stumbled upon ReactOS, maybe in 2004. I joined the ReactOS community on April 2005. I began to learn C and soon commited a few small patches. In January 2007 I became a ReactOS developer. I started with working on the desk.cpl appearance page, later I worked on win32k, which is my favourite place. And there's enough todo ;-)

TODO
