Kicad Team, I am an EE by training and have a passion for open source anything. I am currently designing an open source motor drive for teaching the DIY hacker crowd about how PID loops, motor control etc works. I see that Kicad has potential, and also that Kicad has very few people working on it to make it better.
I would like to help fix Kicad bugs, which is something only a handful of crazy nut jobs have said before. I have programmed in Java and python before, and dabbled in C++. I am not totally inept when it comes to algorithmic coding, however I am not well versed in how OS programs run or interact with the OS. If somebody who is working on Kicad is willing to trade a little bit of hand holding for another person on board to help make Kicad the next Ubuntu for PCB design, I am willing to help. I was planning on learning either C++ or Scala to write a desktop app for interfacing with my new motor drive so I would already be putting the time in to get semi proficient at C++. I don't have 40 hours a week to put in, but I would assume anything is better than nothing! Lance Doiron Electrical Engineer 207.289.5500
