Hi, GIMP developers. I would like to participate in the GSoC '09 in two projects: 1.Better nonlinear resampler with built-in antialiasing (GEGL) 2.Fractal Resizing The filled form is below, my CV is attached for more detailed info on skills. -----------------------------------APP FORM----------------------------------- -- About me -- Vladimir Volkov Kiev School Of Economics (second higher education) Kiev National University of Taras Shevchenko, Cybernetics college My background: I posses a master degree in applied math and have professional experience in SW development (see below) IRC nick: lepricon Native language: Russian -- SW Development Skills -- I used to take part in development of telecommunication software for two years.

I used to implement a few clustering algorithms using Mean Shift, and tried fractal image compressing. -- GIMP and GEGL Skills -- I use GIMP almost every day as default advanced photo editor. I didn't build it before, I use the one provided with my distro. -- GSoC Project -- I did not participated in the previous GSoC because I was not a student that summer. :) I have chosen those projects because this is great opportunity to get an experience in large scale image processing, contribute to opensource software along with earning some money.
