That is exciting to hear. We have plenty of bug to choose from; try
http://bugs.gimp.org .  The easiest way to submit bugfixes is to sign
up for an account there and then to attach the  patches in diff -u
form to the appropriate bug.

Your code is your resume.

We don't have enough developers to start killing them off yet.

We can use a bit of lightheartedness every once in a while.  Too much
of it might upset one of our resident grouches, but you'd know if that
happened. :)

They are probably not all that relevant, although if you are competent
at doing builds for non-Linux or non-Intel platforms, they might be.

[Gimp-developer] They Might Be a Developer

2005-08-17 Thread Jeremy White
Howdy everyone... thought this would be a good message to introduce myself in and my intents:

I wanna get into debugging a bit of GIMP (that's right... I'm fresh
blood) and once I get used to it, I guess I'll go ahead and add
something to the core code if you'd approve. I went ahead and typed up
my ideas but I decided it would be a bad idea to post any of my
thoughts until I got some feedback. Is the mailing list a good place
for me to announce ideas like that and whatever? I just would hate to
spam this list with my thoughts if it's the wrong place.

OH! And another thought. I'm assuming you people don't need a resume or
any of that jazz... you just want me to debug stuff until I prove I'm
better than another developer, then he/she gets voted off the island
and gets eaten by sharks while we watch and eat popcorn and then I go
ahead and start developing code until I die so many times that I don't
have any quarters left to put in the video game. Am I loosely right?

Dang, I need to lessen the sugar.

Ta ta, ya' GIMPy people,
Jeremy White

P.S. Do you want my system(s) specs?
