[Jazzplusplus-devel] I'd like to join the team

[Gelu S. <gel...@ya...>]

Hello everybody,

First thing first, I'd like to join the team.
I am a seasoned programmer (age 32; you live-you
learn...) on Windows platform, proficient in C++,
familiar with MIDI and audio concepts and API, and a
hobbist musician myself (that is, able to read proper
sheet music, not only lame tablatures; I mention it
because I intend to take a shot at that staff view). I
hope I'll make a decent addition to your team.
I'm not that much into Linux development, only some
Java, Python and Tcl/Tk, especially because they work
under Windows too ;) and I'm clueless about the Linux
audio API, wether you call it AudioSalsa or OpenSSL,
but I hope PortAudio will alleviate this issue. I can
however do as much as put up a Linux partition and
compile the project.
I liked Jazz++ as soon as I encountered it, I looove
free stuff :), however I couldn't help notice it has
some issues, and until recently there seemed to be
nobody to discuss them with. I'm glad you took over
it.
What I could take care of is the Windows port, and 
that staff view, as I said.
I'm looking forward to see some files on SF, as I'd
rather start with something that compiles. I don't
mind some simple instructions like "get that tarball,
open that dialog, do your stuff and make sure you
don't mess up anything else!"
Also if you people know any working CVS client for
Windows (2000/XP) I'd appreciate if you let me know,
because I have MS SourceSafe written all over me :)
Soo... Am I in?

[Jazzplusplus-devel] Website

[Dave F. <dav...@co...>]

All,

I'm doing website stuff right now, and I'm going to go ahead and knock out all 
the outstanding web work I've got (most of it's just little things that have 
built up over a couple of months), hopefully not needing to do any more web 
work until after the summer at least.  :)  (While I'm thinking in xhtml and 
php I should do everything that requires that sort of thinking.  I have 
trouble going back and forth between c++ and xhtml.  :(  )

While I'm at it, do you guys want me to throw together a website for Jazz?  (I 
am going to throw one together for Alacrity, but it's just going to be a copy 
of a posting I made on the Audacity list soliciting for developers with a 
link to the Jazz website)  It'll just be a quickie 5 page Free Software 
website with cvs instructions, news, and so forth.  Nothing fancy (well, a 
news engine will be coming out of the work I'm going on my site, and then 
Crimson's getting that same engine, and so will Jazz if Jazz wants me to do a 
site right now).  I can and will link to the wiki, of course, and if Mark 
wants to move the wiki to sourceforge's server where it may theoretically 
have more bandwidth and raw server power, it would be a convenient time to do 
that.  ;)

So, while I'm at it, do you want me to do a quickie website for jazz?

Dave

Well, my vote was always in moving to sourceforge.  :)  For the reasons you've 
given and more, actually.  Sourceforge is also a pretty reliable archive.  I 
don't know how reliable jazzware.com is, but it's also a bit of a hole in the 
wall.  I'm antimainstream as much as the next guy (heh), but sourceforge 
gives a lot more visibility as well.
