Hello there fellow inkscape-devel mailing list subscribers, I'm Eric Kuzmenko, a programmer want-to-be. Almost none of you have met me, I just want to establish a position in your community, hopeful I can obtain someone's friendship here. Anyway, I just wanted to state that I am going to attempt to apply for gsoc sometime late next week. I'm currently trying to get a grasp of the gtkmm wrapper in order to press that knowledge to fixing some bugs and getting those two patches in before April 8, though there's a great chance I won't be able to due to the amount I need to learn. Even if I fail to get that far this soon I will continue attempting to help patch up the code during the summer, whether it with gsoc or not, hopefully I can be of some help. If you've read this far then thank you. =)
