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

2014-10-21 Thread Thilo Borgmann
Hi,

 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?

I think this is correct.

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

 Thilo, Please can we have an IRC chat about this. I can still implement the

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.

 this ALS decoder is different from the RLS-LMS decoder.

 if you dont know the difference between LPC and RLS-LMS
 maybe ftp://cs.uef.fi/franti/papers/RLS-LMS_TIP2008.pdf
 could help. But note iam no ALS expert, thilo knows all this better

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

 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 :(

I see this has somewhat been awnsered on IRC

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

Is there any non-coding task I can propose like an untidy codebase that
needs documentation  ? Would be glad to have some pointers ?


 Thanks

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 ...

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.
