The resume didn't get forwarded with the email, can you perhaps attach it again?

Also, like Carl, I highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with our both 
contribution process and the people who are around. Unfortunately, the LilyPond 
has a bad track record of GSoC contributors who produced substantial work that 
did not ultimately get merged because there was not enough planning of the time 
that it takes to review code and discuss things. Whether related or not to 
beaming, take a couple easy bugs to squash from our issue tracker (e.g., doc 
bugs) and submit merge requests. It's a good way to get acquainted with the 
project.

Best,

Jean
