Hello!
My name is Thu Vu and I’m a sophomore studying Computer Science from the
University of Texas at Dallas. I have originally first heard of Inkscape
when I was around 14 when I was interested in creating vector art and
various graphic art pieces. I have heard several artists use it to create
wonderful art pieces that have inspired me. Since I have personally used
Inkscape before I would have some background insight from a user’s
perspective. This would give me an advantage in the knowledge of what a
user would like to be implemented or simplified for better user experience
when using Inkscape.
I have not worked on any open-source projects before, but in joining
GSoC’20, it would help me give me first-hand experience of what it is like
to work on projects such as that. My main technical skills consisted of C++
and Java as well as HTML, CSS, some JavaScript for web design and
development. I also have additional knowledge of working in a UNIX/Linux
environment.
For project proposals, I’m interested in the Better CSS Style Sheet
Support, Refactoring, and Path Library Improvements projects. In all
honesty, it gives me great excitement to be possibly working on an Inkscape
project from a different perspective besides a user standpoint. I look
forward to learning a lot in any of these projects. Also, considering this
would be the first time I am applying to GSoC as well as work on an
open-source project, I would appreciate any advice on the application
process and any tips going forward.
Best Regards,
Thu Vu

will ever lose to Windows Update, even despite him not taking the race
seriously.

Hello Shlomi!
Yes, I have read the Inkscape wiki. I am curious how I would structure a
project proposal though. Are there any past examples I look at? Also, do I
submit the proposal along with the application? I couldn't specifically
find where I would send the application.
Best Regards.

Hi!
I just wanted to check back in again and if anyone could answer my
questions, I'll appreciate it. Are there any past proposals I could look
at? And where should I submit my application? I'm certain I know where to
submit the proposal, but I can't find where to submit the application part
that was mentioned in the wiki.
Best Regards,
Thu
