[L2Ork-dev] Interest regarding GSOC'22

[Abhinav Borah]

Greetings,

My name is Abhinav Borah, a second-year computer science undergrad from
India. Having used PureData in the past for my personal projects, I would
be more than happy to contribute to the organisation. I am familiar with
the tools mentioned in the Idea List provided for GSOC'22 and would love to
enrich my curiosity and skills by learning from the mentors. The ideas I am
looking forward to contribute are stated below:

   - *Vintage Platform Audio Emulation:*

I have some prior experience with Pd where I made virtual MIDI instruments
and patches. Applying the skills/technologies I'll be learning from my
mentor, I will devote this summer to developing
*"a library with objects that emulate the hardware from old hardware like
the atari 2600, NES, and others."*

   - *Improve Our Monstrously Complex Build System*

Continuous Integration plays a vital role in the release of PurrData
updates. I want to help automate the release process along with improving
the CI runners and simplifying the build system. I have used C and am
familiar with bash as well as the peculiarities of OSX and Windows command
line. With some guidance and help from the mentors, I will be able to learn
and implement 'make' to refine the build system further.

I really appreciate the efforts PureData has put to allow both artists and
programmers alike to develop, tweak and implement their thoughts into
actions. I am looking forward to being a valuable contributor to the
organisation. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Regards,
Abhinav
