Hi Bruno,
Welcome to the list and glad to hear you're interested in GSoC for Mixxx! If
UI design is your passion then it seems that the Sampler project or the UI
redesign project would be ideal for you. Glad to hear we'll be seeing you
around in #mixxx.
Please feel free to ask any questions you might have (as the GSoC advice
page <http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/gsoc2010advice> says, if something
isn't clear or isn't working it's more likely our fault than yours) and if
you have time, try to get a local copy of the code compiling so you can
start playing around :).
Best regards,
RJ
