Hi dear FreeCol Dev Team! I have been watching the project quite some time and I want to participate in the development process, if you guys are still activly developing.
May i quickly introduce myself: My name is Stefan, and I live and work in Austria. I am 37 years old, and as a profession, I am a senior Java backend developer. My very reason to embark on my software development carreer was the original colonization game, so I know it very well, still playing from time to time. It was my first PC game I was playing back in the day on an old x86 PC at my uncle's place :D. In my daily working I am doing REST backend services for the most, because the application we are developing was moved to the web sphere (a time ago), but originally it was a full java fatclient (with a swing GUI), so I also know a lot about that GUI stuff you are using too. I browsed the code a bit the last days and I would love to help out. Also I've been playing the game and I found a list of issues which i quickly noted during my play run. Also I debugged a bit and tried fixing / changing some stuff - I would love to embark on a journey with you guys. I can either share the issue list, or I think you are using the SF bug reporting, I may also browse through that list, and add or update from my list if you wish? What do you think about some refactorings, and or introducing some helping libs - like lombok? I would also fix all "potential NPE" stuff, and remove redundant null-checks. If you would like me (at first ;) ) rather to stick to bug fixes / BR tickets, no problem. I cloned the SF git master - how is the process here to open a merge request / pull request? Usually i would create a branch and open a MR or PR in gitlab / bitbucket. Is this also the case for SF? Just write me some lines back, can also be private: stefan.fell...@tutanota.com -> We also may use skype if you want a chat / screenshare session. If you want to know anything more about me - just ask :) BR, Stefan! -- Sent with Tutanota, the secure & ad-free mailbox.
