I intend to clean up and make sure almost everything I've written can get merged, it just may be a little slower now that school is starting.

I greatly enjoyed summer of code, and I would like to think that I emerged a much better programmer than when I started, and yes, it was a lot of fun. A lot of bugs I saw for Gdiplus were installer bugs, so hopefully many more applications are installable under Wine -- but when people discover that there may be even more bugs opened :-) While it can be annoying to have a patchset rejected five times, it's satisfying to fix myself it rather than see "based on a patch from..."; also I love the quality standards and peer-review that Wine has, as that made the code a lot easier to work with, because just about everything was in good shape when I got it, and I hope that the next person who looks at Gdiplus will think so too. I will try to stay a part of the Wine community, but now that Summer of Code is done I have a lot fewer itches to scratch (Quicktime is my new target, but I have no idea how long that will take with school). All in all, its been a blast. I would like to thank my mentor, Lei for helping me when I was completely stuck, Alexandre for dealing with me over IRC when I ask "why?", and everyone else who's posted comments saying "You can't do it like that". > > I also believe that students will have to fill in a final evaluation > form as well, so get writing. ;-) > > Cheers, > Maarten. > >
