Thank you for your introduction. I'm forwarding this letter to
gimp-developer mail list that I suggest you join. There may be questions
from other developers. Also all other students interested in GSoC projects
will be there.
Sir,
I am Hiran Venugopalan, a final year Computer Science & Engineering Student
from Vidya Academy, Thrissur, Kerala, India. [1] I am being a GNU/Linux
User for the past 5 years and had worked on various project specially
concentrated to Local Language.[2]
GIMP is one of the first FOSS tool that I started to use, as like many
others and I still use it along with Inkscape and Blender for graphical
designing activities. I have also designed some fonts namely Rufscript,
Perizia and Dyuthi and had contributed to some font projects like Samyak,
Freefonts etc. [3] - thats all on my designing experiences. "aesthetic"
qualities!
The font Dyuthi was done as a part of GSoC 2007 [4]
I am heavly intrested on UI usability and related stuffs. Indeed I am in a
plan to get inside GNOME Usability. I am really willing to be a part of GIMP
Project. I love to do the UI brush dynamics project. [5] I have some
knowledges in C and Python and had worked with some relatively small
projects on Local Language Computing. The another quality that I see as per
you requirements that I dont have a " deep knowledge of image processing." I
wish to be a part of this Project, through or not through SoC.
For this week end I am busy, due to some family events and academic things.
I will make a study on what I understood from your project idea and will
mail. Consider this as an introduction. Also if you have some links or
details to provide, you could mail them to me.
