[kdenlive] Introducing Joseph, working on Kdenlive Windows port for, GSoC

[Jesse DuBord]

Welcome, Joseph! Thanks so much for your willingness to contribute to 
this invaluable project for us video editors out there. And I agree with 
everyone, the more people see how beneficial the FOSS world is for 
users, the better chance we have of making them use Free Software full time.

Light side, FTW. :)

Cheers,

JRD
