Hello Banshee community!
This is an introduction email, so allow me to introduce myself.
My name (if you can't tell from the FROM: field) is Alex Launi. I'm the
Banshee summer of code student for 2010. This summer I'll be hacking
the hell out of Banshee to make the Now Playing source killer.
Since you're all familiar with Banshee already, I'll cut the
guff and just give you the meat and potatoes of the project.
Essentially I'll be combining the context pane and the now playing
source so that the Now Playing source can display information from the
context pane. When I'm finished you'll be able to view
last.fm
recommendations, lyrics, Wikipedia info, and more from the now playing
source taking advantage of more screen real estate. There's a little
bit more to it, but that's the meat and potatoes of it.
If anyone has questions feel free to ask! On irc you can find me
as 'lamalex', or you can email/gchat me. I'm super excited to be
working on this over the summer. I think it'll make Banshee even
greater.
Make sure to thank alexk for mentoring and making this project
possible!
I'll also be finishing up my work on udev, so expect some news
on that front- although unrelated to gsoc.
