This is my first post after I was added to Planet GNOME (although some of my very old posts have already been displayed on the planet), so, hello planet readers!

I will be part of GNOME Outreach Program for Women working on Cheese and I will have Thiago Souza Santos as a mentor. I’m really happy about this opportunity. I would like to thank GNOME Foundation, Google and Collabora for sponsoring this, Marina for organizing it and Daniel Siegel for helping me through application and giving me the great ideas to work on.

One of my goals for the project is to improve Libcheese making it good to be used by other software. I plan to use camerabin in Libcheese and use gobject-instrospection to allow applications written in other languages to use it.

Another goal is to add configurable properties to GNOME Video Effects. For instance, think about the hulk effect in Cheese, while you want to keep the hue property in videobalance fixed so you can get the green skin tone, you can configure saturation to have lighter or stronger greens. The goal is to fix this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626533 and hopefully have more people using GNOME Video Effects after that.

If you have any ideas on those topics, please send me an e-mail, contact me on IRC or just add it to bugzilla. And, keep in mind that I can only start working for real on that on December 15th, when the program starts. Less than a month away! Counting down!
