[Qgis-developer] Any processing folks interested in pairing with a new QGIS developer?

[Michael Kirk]

Hello!

I’m dipping my toes into the code behind the processing toolkit. In particular, I’m interested in improving the Vector tools in the processing toolkit.

I am an experienced developer, but have spent most of the last decade writing web software. I’m making some progress, but not feeling very productive so far. When getting involved with new client projects, I find it really productive to pair with a developer who’s more familiar with the project. I’ve never tried this with an OSS project before, but are there any QGIS developers working on the processing module who are willing to mentor me by letting me remotely sit in with them on a programming session? I can be flexible so as to accommodate your schedule and programming style.

I feel that a couple of hours of your time would save me many days of orientation, while not costing you much. In fact, I’ve found a pair programmer improves my productivity even when the person I’m working with is completely unfamiliar with the project. Think of me as a sentient linter ;)

I typically use mostly shell tools (vim+tmux) for remote terminal and google hangouts for voice/video and occasional desktop sharing, but will use whatever you prefer.

Thanks for any support!

regards,
Michael Kirk
