Hi guys,

    This is Charles Cui from Tsinghua University, China. I am pretty interested in

the ideas listed in GSOC 2017 page on Maria DB, especially the idea "Cassandra Storage Engine V2".  I have some experiences in Cassandra and MySQL, but quite new to Maria DB. I am wondering whether I can join this project and work with you guys? I speak fluent English and available during the whole summer. In case that this project is allocated to other people, I am also open to pick other projects in Maria DB. Let me know if you have questions or feedbacks. 

Thanks, Charles.
