Tried this "CinGG summer of code" and got zero results. Donated $2400 and got zero results / failure from Ernest Ibarra. |

@WPFilmmaker @PhyllisSmith I think it's a great idea. I will set up a special Developer page, where such "Help needed" items are summarized. This page must be animating or motivating to support us. |

@PhyllisSmith I am not a developer so I never dealt with Gsoc if not as follower of open source projects. Afaik the student(s) have to be mentored by a member of the project (in this case GG), so of course this could (would?) require time. Yes I liked the "help-needed" tag, LibreOffice which has a large code base has a list of "easy-to-fix bugs" to attract newcomers who might be scared by the code size. Maybe Cinelerra could do the same and add a voice that links to such list on the website? |

@WPFilmmaker I like the idea and I looked at the internet information on this after you sent the earlier email. I just think that the coordination and administration of going through google would be a burden. BUT if there is a Computer Science student out there who already knows how to program with C and C++ they could get experience by coordinating with us directly. "HELP needed" tag opens up possibilities to look for if anyone is interested in helping and/or mentoring. GG likes to explain code and passing on his knowledge about cinelerra to willing listeners. |
