Hello everyone,
I am Aashish Mittal, a student of Computer Engineering from Sardar Patel College of Engineering, India. I aspire to take part in GSoC 2012 with Scala as my mentoring organization.
I have participated in GSoC 2010 and GSoC 2011 under Sakai Foundation and Code for America respectively. For Sakai Foundation, I created a subsystem ‘Event Explorer’ [0] which provided as analytical dashboard for the system events generated to be used by the software administrators and for Code for America I created a call center application (Open311 on Joget [1]) focused on providing cost-affordable CRM options to various cities. Both projects used Java as the core programming language. 
I am a core Java developer and a big enthusiast of open-source technologies. I have used some time learning Scala and am very interested to dig deeper and contribute to this community.
I have gone through the initial steps of getting myself familiar with the language and getting the source code and building it. I would like to mention that currently on getting the latest source form svn repository and building it, I am getting some errors in  C:\scala\src\swing\scala\swing\ComboBox.scala and  C:\scala\src\swing\scala\swing\ListView.scala due to which the build is failing. Am I missing something?
I have gone through the documentation and the guide for Scala developers. I would like to start with fixing some bugs/issues.
I would appreciate some suggestions and guidelines on the same and any tips for proceeding with my path into the community.
Thanks in advance.
