[Thibaut Brandscheid <randaltor@xxxxxx>]

Hi all

My name is Thibaut Branscheid and I'm very pleased to see that the Contact
Lens takes shape. Early this year I posted the 'Contact Lens' idea on
Brainstorm. Since then I've liked the idea of fast contact accessing using
the Dash, but was not able to create it myself.

I'm a Linux project newbie. This is the first time that I joined a team to
develop some FOSS, therefore it would be nice to get some help in how to
set things up and if someone could give me a brief overview (common
tools...) it would be even greater.

Okay, so how does developing normally start - discuss the project goals,
write some design documents and create some mock-ups or just start hacking
and see what we get? My original plan was (before this group existed) to
learn C++ and write the Contact Lens my self, so therefore I would favor
Vala over Python (Vala syntax looks kind of familiar to me).

Some of my interests / skills:

   - Java - 2 years (I work for a closed source Project as Java back-end
   developer)
   - Android - a half year (for the same Project)
   - C++ - started this summer (no experience)
   - Strong interest in UX and design
   - A lot of ideas, ideas, ideas..


I'm ready to go :)

Thibaut
