I'm usually not in IRC - I cannot stay there during my every day job and I can't
plan my free time as much as I want to.

So mail is my preferred channel of communication.

As already mentioned, you're welcome to work on the decoder aka your
qualification task. And I think the deadline tomorrow does not hurt if you've
met the OPW requirements already - which would be to the best of my knowledge to
have submitted a formal application to OPW.

I think this is correct.

And of course, any contributions within the OPW or not are very welcome!

Hello,

I was of the impression that even though the time for submitting patches is
running out, any propective OPW applicant could still continue working on
her tasks even after the application period is over right up to the
selections are announced for the OPW?

Well, she can still do that, just not within the OPW program (since
time is obviously running out).

I believe most here would agree with helping new contributors even
outside of programs like OPW or GSoC.

I don't think it matters anymore since you will most likely not be able to
finish work on that.

if you dont know the difference between LPC and RLS-LMS
maybe ftp://cs.uef.fi/franti/papers/RLS-LMS_TIP2008.pdf

ive added a non coding task to the wiki earlier today, maybe others
have some ideas which they want to mentor ...
also you can suggest anything you would like to work on on the list
here and we will see what people think about it, if people like it,
if someone wants to mentor it ...

I did a git grep and found ffmpeg/libavcodec/alsdec.c. I am trying to see
this ALS decoder is different from the RLS-LMS decoder.

Is there any non-coding task I can propose like an untidy codebase that

I see this has somewhat been awnsered on IRC
maybe thilo can elabrate on this, though I do not think its possible
to write such decoder in the remaining time before Wednesday unless
one knows what to do already and is quick.
If you havnt started yet to work on ALS  then maybe you want to try
to work on some other project ?
You can also propose things not listed on our wiki including non
coding tasks.

Thanks

[FFmpeg-devel] Help with writing an RMS-LMS decoder

2014-10-20 Thread Ngassa Finjap
Hello,

I am Ngassa Amalia (amalia on irc), an student interested in
contributin to the ffmpeg project unde the OPW program.I have already
created an account on githug(@Ngassa) and compiled ffmpeg from source.
I have been asked to write an RMS-LMS decoder before Wednesday and I
don't have a faint idea how to go about it. Please can anyone give me
tips on how to go about this qualification task ? I am really flying
blind here :(

Cheers
Ngassa Amalia
