My name is Set. I am a 35 years young half-swede half-swiss happy human.
I speak French, Swedish, Spanish, German and English fluently but
unfortunately i spell non of them very good. My main fields of action
are music and graphics, having a master in graphic design from ECAV in
Switzerland. I have been involved in quite a few PR, A&R and HR
assignments, such as for night clubs in Barcelona, and RMLL (aka LSM
Libre Software Meetings). I also have a good deal of experience as
conflict solver and technical supporter.
I'm interested in helping out and being a part of the dev crew.
Here is my CV:

If you think i could fit among you, let me know what the next step is.
I think you would be helpful to us. One of the problems we have is that we
tend to be Audio heavy in our knowledge. We have 5 work flows for artistic
work and the audio is the best developed/understood. Someone who does
graphic arts and can look at our graphics work flow (photography and video
too) and tell us what is missing, what is just not really useful, what
system settings would be best, would be very helpful.
To be honest, we have done almost nothing the past cycle. This cycle we
want do most of the things we want to see in the LTS so that next cycle
can be used for polishing things.
Some of the things we want to do:
- include an application that helps the user get audio setup right.
-makes sure they have RT priv
-finds audio interfaces and lets the user set the right one
-allows running jackdbus as the desktop audio backend
-allows changing jack parameters
- allow DE choice at install time. We already allow workflow application
choice at install time, but are using xfce as the DE (it will
remain the default)
- (re)create an application installer specific to Studio (mine does not
work so well) based on the code in the ISO installer so someone
can install Studio (or parts of it) on top of the install they
have and still have working audio, etc.
- adjust our thinking to dealing with a DE that is effectively menuless
and find a way in a menuless DE to still have enough order in
application layout that things are still easy to find.
- working to include good descriptions in *.desktop files so that
searches for application types works well.
- possibly create an indicator/systray applet that shows
applications by workflow
- keep our menu stub up to date for those DEs with a menu.
- we do need new graphics for background etc.
- lots more... take the ISO out for a spin and make suggestions :)
This is just off the top of my head. I am sure Zequence will have more and
better descriptions.
