Hi Pitivi devs!
My name is Benjamin Humphrey, and I'm a student studying Software
Engineering at Otago University in Dunedin, New Zealand. Although I have yet
to do a Python paper I'm pretty sure I will take one next year. I've done
java so far, and a few other non-programming papers.
Anyway, I'm keen to start contributing to projects under Ubuntu, I've been
around the forums for a while helping out people and writing some
documentation for the Community Docs as well as triaging bugs. I'd like to
join a project, and Pitivi seems within my limits! So until I learn a bit of
Python, how would I go about helping with the following? (Taken from
http://www.pitivi.org/wiki/Other_Ways_to_Contribute)
- Website maintenance
- End user documentation
- API Documentation
- Icons and Artwork
I do a bit of video editing for some drumming videos I make in my spare
time, and upon switching completely to Ubuntu last year, I have yet to find
a comparable video editor to the likes that Windows/Mac offer... obviously
they have the advantage of costing hundreds of dollars, but I know that
Ubuntu will eventually catch up with the video editing software like it has
in other areas. Pitivi seems like it's got a lot going for it, I've tried
out numerous other editors, and apart from kdenlive for kde, I can't seem to
find anything comparable to Pitivi. Hence why I want to help contribute!!
Also, it'll be good experience for my degree, and, if I ended up becoming a
pretty regular contributor, good for a CV as well.
So yeah, thanks for reading, if you could point me in the right direction to
get started on helping out with some documentation and artwork creation,
that'd be rad. I've got over a month till uni starts again, and even then I
will have quite a lot of spare time until March next year as I'm only doing
two papers over summer.
Thanks!
Benjamin Humphrey
