Why BRL-CAD?

I have been searching from last year for the projects which match my skillset. This Project is very matching with my abilities so I want to work on this. Also I have studied a subject called Computer Graphics this semester and I am really attracted towards BRL-CAD community since it is a great community which works on graphics. Also making a project for American Army is kind of honor as it may help the defence forces to maintain peace in the world.

Why me?

I have too much interest in Open Source as people here help / teach / play /interact with each other and working in this way is fun. So I wish to pursue my career also in Open Source. Why me? Because I have worked on Wordpress a lot and I saw MediaWiki is very similar to it. I am state level champion in technical event “ERP System”. I stood first in two competitions.
