Hello,

I'm responding about the advertisement "Plans for 2.8 and beyond" to help the team to freely code gimp. Here is a little resume :

Background: *student in 4th year of mathematics in belgium. *I could fellow some lessons in computer science : Operating systems, data storage stuctures, and currently some computer graphics.. *external student in drawing. (aka already a good gimp & mypaint user) *My current computer runs on a x86-64 Archlinux with Xmonad as window manager.
*Computer langagues:
--->"Native speaker" : C, java (6) and Oz (An erlang-syntax like functional language), shells
--->Good skill: C++, haskell
--->Rarely used: Python, php, erlang I never used any other language

What I'm stong at: * Learning.
* Avoid ugly spaghetti-like code.

What I'm weak at: * Not very well rolled up about git, but I know well svn. * Bug fixes organisation

Direct issue : I manage at home to clone the git repos and to eventually build it. But I cannot "$git pull " anymore with the university wireless... it says :

git.gnome.org[0: 209.132.180.173]: errno=Connection timed out fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)

I do not dare to try to code a bugfix if I cannot update the source code. Someone might already fix the one i picked ! I have no idea what could possibly wrong...

(Moreover, I couldn't find any documentation about the general stucture of the gimp architecture, like blender have since a few mounths. Is there some data about this somewhere on the web ?)

Many thanks for any help, Brack

Hi Nicolas!

Thank you for your mail.

However, you're not applying to a job, and a resume won't help us much. What matters is that you write good code ;)

So I suggest you look for something you'd like GIMP to do better, then start working on that. If you bump into problems, feel free to ask for advice on this list.

BR,
Martin

Isn't there some prioritized task list for Gimp? I believe GEGL integration is currently the highest priority task, isn't it?

Almost; it's second. Getting 2.8 out is number one.

But to recommend our friend Nicolas specific tasks to work on, I need to get to know him as a coder first.
