Hi Shrikrishna,

Thanks a lot indeed for your introduction :-)

> One new option, where the canvas will be made infinite, 

Regarding this option, it is often taken as an example referring to the beauty of using MyPaint (since it already implements it).

I am really glad you are going to add it to Krita as well :-)

> My mentors for this project would be Boudewijn and Dmitry Kazakov.

Wow! Two mentors instead of the usual one :-)
Joking aside, with *these* mentors I am sure you are going to do a wonderful summer of code project :-)

Good luck for your Gsoc 2012: please, keep us posted!

Best regards,

Silvio Grosso

Hello everybody!
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 "Adding an Infinite Canvas / Wraparound mode for Krita". 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.


My mentors for this project would be Boudewijn and Dmitry Kazakov.
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! :)


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 "Ayana" 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)
