Hello,
I am Jehan, one of the main developers of GIMP.
As a little background, GIMP has not subscribed to GSoC as a project
for a
few years now, one of the main reason being that I am nowadays one of
the
only developers still interested to be a mentor. And we considered
this was
not enough to subscribe ourselves as a GSoC project on our own.
Darshan is a student currently working on GIMP project through a FSF
internship. He barely started a week-ago but had his first commit
accepted
and merged into our master tree yesterday. Hence so far, we are
pleased with
the internship.
He proposed us a GSoC, which I would be happy to mentor. Yet as I
said, we
are not a GSoC organization. Therefore if GNU was willing to give one
of its
slot to GIMP as umbrella, we'd be happy to accept it. Of course maybe
you
already had plans so I am sorry to ask this late. It was a bit
impromptu.
Thank you.
Regards,
Jehan
