Hi all,
a while ago I stumbled upon KSimus and started playing with that one. Used it
as kind of puzzle game; set myself a goal and try to implement it. E.g. I built
a 2 digit decimal counter from the available components. Nothing special, but
it got me hooked.
At the same time I was looking into programming again. My current job does not
require me to code and I'm missing that so I decided to take on a project,
preferable KDE. Instead of starting something myself I decided it would be
better to contribute to an existing project. KSimus seemed the one as it is
abandoned since 2003. Made code adjustments so it compiles for GCC 4.2 and was
moving the build system to CMake.
Tried to get into contact with the original author, but have been uncussesfull
untill now.
Then I discovered KTechlab and started playing with that. Wow, this tool is
really cool and was surprised I didn't hear about it before. So I started to
look a bit deeper. The PDF tutorial with examples is really great (I'm half-way
now).
But then, I got lost in the information. I'm not sure what is the real website
(sourceforge, ktechlab.org or?). Forums seem to be dead, but there is some
mailinglist activity despite the news section states KTechlab is in-active.
To make a long story short, I'm looking for a project that is willing to
'adopt' me. Being a father with a full time job, I can not guarantee many hours
a day but spending a few consequtive hours every few days is no problem.
I have a degree in Computing Science from the Eindhoven University of
Technology. Started working for Ericsson and unfortunately lost touch with
writing code completely. Have no experience in KDE or QT. C++ is rather rusty.
But I'm learning fast.
Electronics is an erea I do not have any background in, but I'm interested in
learning it because I'm involved in a project now that designs ASICs and
reference configurations. This is how I (privately, I'm not required to
understand it at all) found first KSimus and later KTechlab.
So, if you think you can use a helping hand, please let me know.
Regards,
Vincent
