About Me

March21

Currently studying Theoretical Computer Science at the Jagiellonian University

Google Highly Open Participation Contest 2007/08 winner.

From the GHOP site:

SilverStripe chose Wojciech Szkutnik as their Grand Prize Winner.  Wojciech distinguished himself by doing 29 tasks, the greatest output from among all of our student participants. Even if another student had done the same quantity, Wojciech would still have gained a lead due to the diversity of work he did. He delivered at least one of almost every type of task we laid out and he had to learn much more than some other participants about our project, community, and process.  Congratulations to Wojciech!
