[Owncloud] Re: Help for the website, again

[Damien Tardy-Panis]

Hey,

I really don't understand why I don't get any answers... I know everybody is 
busy but come on, I sent my message 5 days ago! And you can't tell you don't 
accept/need help ;-)

I think Florian didn't get any response too. That is not very welcoming! But 
maybe I'm wrong here if some people answered him privately. My apologies if 
it's the case.

Maybe the reason is I didn' t introduce myself properly and you don't trust me 
enough to do the website. If I'm right here you should have told me! Having no 
answer is really demotivating! But it's ok for now I still have a lot of it 
;-)

Anyway, here is a more complete introduction if it's what you were waiting  
for :
I'm Damien Tardy-Panis. I'm 22, in the last year of my studies as a software 
engineer (Ensimag, Grenoble, France). Currently, I'm in my final internship in 
Amsterdam where I do some web development using Magento (e-commerce).
I've been helping the KDE Promo Team for about 1 year now, mainly with the 
cration of the booklet : 
http://community.kde.org/images.community/5/5f/Kde_booklet_ver8.pdf.

Allright, now I'm really looking forward to seeing some answers from you guys.
If you preferably use the IRC to communicate, just tell me I'll come (even if 
I prefer the mailing list for these kind of introduction).

What I would like to know at least is : Would you accept me to request to open 
a project at projects.kde.org to start an owncloud website ? So that we can 
work together with those who want to help with that website.

As I said, the website would be just the first thing I want to do (I think this 
is the most urgent task). If everything is fine with the team and the project, 
I'll do some development after. Just like Florian wanted to do, right ?

Cheers,
Damien
