Applications for the Development Group

gcrk

Hello everyone!

Our main purpose is the development of software, so of course we have and need people who help us developing this software. Merge Requests need to be reviewed, feature implemented and bugs fixed. All this can be done by everyone out there, its open source after all! But we still need people who are responsible for making decisions and approving Merge Requests.

If you want to join the team, leave a comment here and provide some information so the members of the collective have something to evaluate the application.

If there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask them here as well. I am sure there is someone able to answer them.

I'd suggest to keep the application period for the initial voting open for a week. This is quite short, but our statutes allow us to elect new members whenever someone is interested in joining the efforts.

I am Kasper and I'd like to join the development group. After Typescript and Vue 3 rewrite and many bugs fixed, I've self-proclaimed myself as a frontend janitor of Funkwhale. During last year I used to fix a lot of bugs, break a lot of things and fix those things again. Somebody might say that this is pointless but those who think that should check the performance difference between stable and development branches.
There are some commonly known facts about me. One in particular - I've been on an intership at Funkwhale doing... frontend stuff... and making a coffee for evenryone every morning.

I have some plans for 2023, namely:

Rewrite frontend (again!) to be based on VUI
Migrate frontend to use the typescript API client (Yeah, that would be another rewrite, how fun!)
Some features like a 10 band EQ
Fix bugs

My name is Marcos, I think I can be a good fit for the Development Group. I'm a bit of a low-profile guy, but don't let that fool you - I've got a bunch of years of experience under my belt and a strong background in web development (front and back). I believe my skills and experience could be somewhat valuable. I've already submitted some commits and helped with some issues and MRs in the Funkwhale codebase.

Currently, I work at a small company where we develop AI-based models and I'm also studying a graduate degree. I'm always eager to learn new technologies and a huge fan of Funkwhale. I like the community, the project and the app fits perfectly with my music consumption needs. I cannot ask for more.

Thanks for considering my application!

Dear Funkwhale Collective, Hi Georg 😉 ,

I would like to apply for the Development Group.

You can find my member introduction here https://forum.funkwhale.audio/d/242-hey-im-jo/4
Somehow we managed to put a pastry picture in my introduction thread, I like where this is going!

Here are a few reasons why I would like to apply:

Even though a good explanation of a solution is better, I will be able to force my decision on others. No I am kidding, but maybe my voice might weight a tiny bit more, which I hope will lead Funkwhale in the good direction (for the topics I have experience in).
I like clean code (code is read more that it is written), and being able to push on the "feature branches" directly in Merge Requests will allow me to mess with others work to clean/improve/correct things. Again I am kidding (a bit), I will not mess your branches, but I want to simplify my life to help you.
I would like to be able to approve/review/merge code without having to ping and rely on Georg, I think he has enough to do without me pinging him around.

I would like to focus my work on the following areas (feel free to ping me if you need a review in these areas):

Automation, CI/CD and developers experience
Distribution, installation and deployment of the projects (paving the road between devs and sysadmin/users)
Enforce best practices on security related topics!
And a bit of code, mostly improvements, I don't think I will have time to contribute new big features for the time being

I hope this small description is enough for my application to the Development Group. Thanks!

Cheers,
Jo

(Just tell me if that's inappropriate, and I'll remove the picture)

Hello!
I'd like to join Development Group so I'm still able to work on funkwhale and merge some stuff!

Some of my not-so-amazing plans are mentioned in welcome post here: https://forum.funkwhale.audio/d/284-hello

Most of you probably already know me a bit, as I did a lot of reviewing, merging, bug reporting and some devops work.
