[Mixxx-devel] Introducing myself

[javier . vilarroig]

Hi.

Just want to say hello to all of you.

I'm new on Mixxx development. 

Some details about myself:

I used to be a developer. My experience includes C, C++, PHP, JScript
plus some other esoteric languages, mainly in Unix and Linux
environments and mainly as a system developer. Not so much experience
on user graphical programs.

But I stopped programming professorially 15 years ago when I started to
be a manager instead of a developer. 10 year ago I moved to other kind
of life in international cooperation (a lot more rewarding, by the way)
and 3 years ago I moved again to management of IT projects for NGO's.

That means that my development skills are a little bit rusty ;)

I also used to be a semi profesional DJ back at the end of the 70's
(yes, I have some age). I have always had music as one of my main
hobbies and have been using Mixxx since 7 or 8 year ago.

I have taken the ownership of the bug  "#1128005 Emphasize the
downbeats of a track by a separate marker on the waveform" as my first
bug. I like the functionality proposed :)

I'm new to GIT, and to Qt so is going to take some time until I really
become productive. And probably I will need to place questions in the
list to be able to advance. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Ah! And English is not my mother tongue, so please excuse my mistakes
on it also.

Thanks :)

Hi again,

I've submitted my proposal about "Intelligent Track Suggestions", I would
like you all to take a look and post some feedback:

Re: [Mixxx-devel] Introducing myself

[João Santos]

Hi again,

Since Wei Xin got further than me with the ideas about "Plug and Play MIDI
Mode | Community MIDI Mappings", I decided to choose another project
because I'm not sure if 2 people can work on the same project.

I decided to pick "Intelligent Track Suggestions", and I have some ideas on
how to implement:

- Option to toggle Sugestions on/off;

- Tracks matching acording to BPM and Gender, if they match by Gender or by
BPM  they could be marked with a yellow background/color, if they both
match by BPM and Gender, they would be marked as green, a song not matching
would be red;

Example: Track A's gender is House, Track B's gender is drum & bass, both
have 128.0 BPMs, Track A is on Deck A, Track B is marked as yellow with a
button like this
http://www.netanimations.net/Yellow-LED-dots-on-up-animated-arrow.gif, if
clicked, track B would be loaded to Deck B;

- Option to set BPM's scope, for example Track A = 125.0 BPMs, Track B =
129.0 BPMs, if the scope = 8 (4up, 4 down), they would be suitable to match;

- When a track is about to finish (30secs before it's over), the arrow
would begin to flash and if clicked, a track would be loaded to a Deck not
playing a track/muted.

Give me your thoughts on this idea, if I'm getting the point or I'm too far.

Best regards,

João

 Hi Daniel,

 Thanks for your reply, will do that after I settle a proper IDE to work
 on, I'm currently using Eclipse with CDT (C++ plugin). If you know a better
 IDE or a faster way to code C++ (and python in the future) let me know.

 Best regards,

 João

 Hi João,


 in general all bugs that are "unassigned" are candidates for you.
 If you decided to fix one, please assign it to your self. If you make
 progress, set the status to "In progress"

 Daniel

Re: [Mixxx-devel] Introducing myself

Hi all

As I was browsing trough the codebase in Eclipse (with CDT plugin) I've
been finding some "could not be resolved" errors, those errors don't
prevent me from testing, etc. but prevent me to access some auto-complete
features because they are not recognized.

I googled that problem and so far, I fixed the issue for the Qt libraries,
but simple things like NULL or the "fabs" cmath function are not working
properly.

Does any one of you know how to fix this or what path to include in Project
-> Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and symbols?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

João

 Hi again,

 I successfully obtained Mixxx from the bzr repo and compiled the
 codebase (no compile errors).

 Now I'm finding the bugtracker a bit confusing -> easy bugs that can
 be fixed in a 
 weekend,
 I find it hard to sort out which bugs are fixed already.

 If anyone could enlighten me it would be great.

 Best regards,

 João

Hi again,

Ok I fixed a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1036492) and
submitted a patch, the fix itself wasn't hard, the hardest part was to find
where to fix, basically I had to find where the Date Added was inserted in
the DB and make it insert to a local time instead of GMT.

Best regards,

 Hi Bruno and RJ,

 I've had very few experience with web frameworks, I've dealt with
 CakePHP but mostly changing values, I've never built anything from scratch.
 But like I said before, I've been wanting to learn DJango for a while but
 never had a project or the right motivation and this might be it. I have no
 problem in reading documentation/tutorials, done that before and that's a
 good way to learn/improve, since you guys have experience I can learn
 faster.

 The project itself seems very interesting and ambitious. A project like
 that is always motivating for me, the experience and knowledge acquired is
 very rewarding for future projects and academic courses too! I will try to
 compile and play around with Mixxx and will show up at your IRC
 channel/send another message after that.

 Best regards,

 João

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply, will do that after I settle a proper IDE to work on,
I'm currently using Eclipse with CDT (C++ plugin). If you know a better IDE
or a faster way to code C++ (and python in the future) let me know.

[Daniel Schürmann]

Hi João,


in general all bugs that are "unassigned" are candidates for you.
If you decided to fix one, please assign it to your self. If you make
progress, set the status to "In progress"

Kind regards,

Daniel

Re: [Mixxx-devel] Introducing myself

[João Santos]

Hi again,

I successfully obtained Mixxx from the bzr repo and compiled the codebase
(no compile errors).

Now I'm finding the bugtracker a bit confusing -> easy bugs that can be
fixed in a 
weekend,
I find it hard to sort out which bugs are fixed already.

If anyone could enlighten me it would be great.

Best regards,

João

Re: [Mixxx-devel] Introducing myself

[João Santos]

Hi Bruno and RJ,

I've had very few experience with web frameworks, I've dealt with CakePHP
but mostly changing values, I've never built anything from scratch. But
like I said before, I've been wanting to learn DJango for a while but never
had a project or the right motivation and this might be it. I have no
problem in reading documentation/tutorials, done that before and that's a
good way to learn/improve, since you guys have experience I can learn
faster.

The project itself seems very interesting and ambitious. A project like
that is always motivating for me, the experience and knowledge acquired is
very rewarding for future projects and academic courses too! I will try to
compile and play around with Mixxx and will show up at your IRC
channel/send another message after that.

Best regards,

João

Re: [Mixxx-devel] Introducing myself

[RJ Ryan]

Hi João,

It's great to hear you are interested in doing GSoC with us. The Community
MIDI Mappings / Plug and Play MIDI project is one of the more ambitious
projects on the list but it should not be too hard if you have experience
with other web frameworks. I have tons of experience w/ web frameworks and
especially Django so I would be able to give you tutorials and help as you
develop the project.

The eventual goal of the server-side component is to have a way for Mixxx
users to share all types of custom data --  MIDI/HID presets, keyboard
mappings, skins, and so on. It should also allow for updating those
resources when new versions are posted. The problem with today's model is
that we ship MIDI presets bundled directly with a Mixxx version. MIDI
preset authors post new versions on the Mixxx forums and so Mixxx users
have to know about the forums to get the latest version of a MIDI preset.
Ideally the process of finding presets for your controller should be
totally contained within Mixxx.

Hope that gives you some context. The best way to get ramped up is to get
the code compiling and play around with Mixxx. For an intro to the codebase
there is the developers guide
http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/developer_guide and
our IRC channel which is where we hang out and chat about Mixxx.

Best regards,
RJ

Re: [Mixxx-devel] Introducing myself

[João Santos]

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,

[Mixxx-devel] Introducing myself

[João Santos]

Hello all,

My name is João Reys Santos and I'm currently studying Computer Engineering
at University of Évora, Portugal.

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.

Best regards,

João Reys Santos
