Hi again,
I took a while to read a bit more on how to contribute. I created a
Launchpad account and contributed with some translations to my native
language (Portuguese), I personaly don't like using most software in my
native language, since it gets harder to get fast support when something
goes wrong, if I post my error message or key words in English I find my
solution faster. Anyway, some people are not comfortable with the English
language and translations do help.
Best regards,
João Reys Santos

> Hello all,
>
> My name is João Reys Santos and I'm currently studying Computer

>
> I'm writing to this mailing list because I was looking for a Google Summer
> of Code 2013 mentoring organization to work on this summer. What I found on
> MIXXX, according to http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/gsocadvice, is that it
> might be a very suitable organization to work on. The informal and
> cooperative environment and the ability to work with Artists, DJs and
> Programmers is really motivating, since I'm a fan of Club/House music.
> Also, working on a cross-platform application sounds very interesting since
> I use both Windows and Linux.
>
> About me, I can say that I'm very eager to learn and very adaptive when it
> comes to different programming languages or different ways to write/indent
> code.
>
> As far as my personal experience:
> - Programming: I've been programming for 4 years (currently at my 2nd
> University year but I had past experience).
>
> - Programming Languages: In the past 4 years I've scrambled across several
> programming languages such as Java, Python, PHP, Javascript, C, C++. I've
> also dealt with HTML, XML and SQL. But if I had to pick my core language to
> program in, it would undoubtedly be Java.
>
> - Internship: I've had an internship of 3 months during my Highschool at
> my current University, namely the Developers section where students/classes
> are managed.
>
> - Past GSoC experiences: I've been accepted in last year's Google Summer
> of Code at the mentoring organization Jikes RVM, the project was to write
> Unit Tests and an environment to auto-run those tests when compiling. I've
> passed both mid-term and final evaluations.
>
> About projects, the one that really got my attention was "Plug and Play
> MIDI Mode | Community MIDI Mappings", the main reason is that I was trying
> to find an "excuse" to learn DJango and this just might be the perfect way.
> It would be great if someone could give me a more detailed explanation
> about how ambitious this project is.
>
> Anything else you need to know about me, feel free to ask.
