Hey there, my name is Osama Salem, I am currently enrolled in my last year of Bachelor's at Cairo University in Egypt, studying Computer Engineering.
For GSOC 2020, I am interested in the project idea "4.9 Runahead for RetroPlayer".
I am completely new to Kodi, however, I spent the day building it on Windows and running it, getting familiar with the functionality...etc.
I'm asking what my next steps should be in order to:
1- Better understand the part of the code I'd be interfering with.
2- Better understand the project itself (the algorithm itself and any background knowledge for emulation in general).
3- Be more familiar with the typical process of how work is done in the Kodi project (by making some PRs possibly).
4- Verify that the project is within my capabilities.
This year would be my last chance to participate in GSOC and it's a chance I'm greatly excited for and don't want to miss.
Thank you.
