<span></span><span></span><a></a>Hello everybody!<div><br><div>My name is Shrikrishna Holla, a second year BE student in PES Institute of Technology, Bangalore, India. I have been selected in GSoC for the project "<a href="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/shrikrishna_holla/1#" target="_blank">Adding an Infinite Canvas / Wraparound mode for Krita</a>". This project would add two canvas modes. One, where the canvas will be made infinite, so the user can paint textures of any size without stopping, and secondly, a "Wraparound mode" for creating tileable textures where painting strokes that go off the canvas, wrap over on the opposite side avoiding texture seams along the edges.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My mentors for this project would be Boudewijn and Dmitry Kazakov.</div><div><br></div><div>I liked the project because of its innovativeness, its out-of-the-ordinary nature, and its beauty (from a programmer's point of view). I really love this community because of its vibrant nature, helpful members, and great documentation (in the sources). Really looking forward to a great summer and a wonderful future with you all! :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>PS: My apologies for being so late in introducing myself. I was very busy last week as I was one of the organizers for a technical event "<a href="http://ayana.pes.edu/" target="_blank">Ayana</a>" held in my college. We had tech talks by Indian open source contributors and a 24-hour hackathon. During the hackathon, we had live interaction sessions from Richard M Stallman, Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto (Ruby creator) and a video message from Bruce Perens (OSI). It was a great success, and we have since been receiving a lot of appreciation for conducting such a novel event in an engineering college. (The event report will be uploaded on the site shortly)<br clear="all">
