Hi everyone, dear Claude, I will take time to introduce me and the future I foresee for Damned Lies in future emails and blog posts, the TL;DR will remain here 😉️. As Claude said, I proposed a few time ago (that is to say, 2 years ago for the first time, gave up for personal reasons (PhD thesis) and since a few months again) to contribute to Damned Lies. This desire came as I’m a Damned Lies user and a GNOME French Team member. I met GNOME seven years ago already, when, as a first year undergraduate student, I wished to contribute to something different. I spent some times in secondary school contributing on Ubuntu and Mageia, for those who may remember, often focusing on translations or help on forums. To be frank, I started a project, two years ago, part of my master’s degree internship to learn a bit better Django. I maintained this project for two years, and it’s now gone, right in time to start a new adventure 🙂. For those who may wish to ask, I’m currently preparing a PhD thesis in natural language processing, focusing on historical digital libraries, for those who may be interested to have a discussion about this (if you have a dataset, please help, DO YOU have a dataset 🤣️🤯️. Private joke for PhD and former PhD students 😉️). I proposed to Claude to focus, for this year, on some points: - enhance communication from DL developers to the users: you and the translation teams. - enhance code quality measurement, find a safe contribution path, to welcome external contribution without the risk of breaking a core part of the GNOME ecosystem. - make translators and team members contribute to the development of DL. No coding knowledge is required (even if welcomed), but I hope you will be often solicited in order to give your opinion about interfaces, work flow (not Vertimus, but browsing into the app I mean). I opened a new blog recently: https://blogs.gnome.org/gbernard/ and I intend to work with Claude in order to communicate about this amazing project! Empty for the moment, content is about to come. Thanks a lot everyone, and thank you Claude for this sign of trust, NB: I’m available of Matrix too, otherwise, for 🍻️, send me a private message 😉️ (I do not reimburse train or plane tickets). -- Guillaume Bernard

He has a good experience in the Python/Django world and already pushed some interesting patches. I'll let him present his plans on this list. This does not mean I will suddenly disappear, but I will probably be a bit less present as I don't want to be a hurdle for fresh ideas and progresses. Kind regards, Claude
