[gnugo-devel] GnuGo Development

[David Levesque]

Hi,

My name is David, I am currently finishing my second year in software
engineering in Montreal, Canada. I am studying at École Polytechnique de
Montréal, if this means anything to the reader.

I have been playing Go for many years now, and been fascinated with computer go
for at least as long. I'd like to participate on the Gnu Go project, if there
is a way I could be useful. I have read the todo list, and perhaps a nice place
to start would be with the pattern editor GUI you seem to want to develop. I
have some experience working with Qt which was mentioned in that same document.
Joining that effort seems like a good place to begin contributing without diving
deep into code that probably still eludes me.

A bit more about me maybe before concluding this email. Like I mentioned before,
I am a 2nd year student so far, on my way to an integrated master degree
(basically a 5 year program, with last year spent in research with a
professor). I am particularly interested in AI and datamining, architeture and
problems related to huge databases. I wanted to join an Open Source project for
a while now, and this one seems to fit right into my interests.

Thanks for your time,
David Levesque
