Introduce yourself

[Nerdcoresteve]

Hiya, I'm Nerdcore Steve. I'm going to be part of Boise State in the fall and am already part of the video game development group there. We're starting to mess around with the Blender game engine and, though it hasn't been decided yet, I'm pushing for our game to be open source.

[pjpdev]

Hey everybody, I'm PJ. I'm a young programmer from South Africa with a passion for open source. If anybody is in need of a Java or FreePascal programmer, then I'd love to help out.

[desmovalvo]

Hi, I'm desmovalvo, or shortly valvo if you prefer I love supertuxkart and I hope to contribute very soon to this wonderful game!!! Bye!

[indyjo]

I'm Jonas, developer of Thunder&Lightning, a game inspired by Carrier Command. I started the game in a time when dinosaurs ruled the earth and I was still a student, but I'm a professional software developer now (with much less time unfortunately ).

[Julius]

Hey Jonas, nice to see you here!

T&L is pretty much on hiatus for a long time now... any plans to revive it, or do you have some other plans?

[gruntunbur]

I came here to make a nice SuperTuxKart track
Blender/Gimp I love em. pro tip: tab hides tools window in gimp. I was so happy when I found out :').

[NetMassimo]

Hi,

I'm from Italy and when I have some time, though unfortunately not much, I like to play on my Linux PC. I particularly like FPS games so I was already registered on the forums on Open Arena and Xonotic sites.

[GooshGoosh!]

I'm GooshGoosh! I live in Israel.
I've nothing to say about me.

[Tranberry]

Why not GooshGoosh!, what kind of games do you like / develop..

yeah I'm being dense.

[Dan the Man]

I am Daniel. My last name is private, so I'm not providing it. I am Asian but I was born here in America. I usually like solving problems on linux.

[Gaming4JC]

I was referred to here from #opengameart when I asked them what I should make after I showed them my Re-Volt Tracks.
So I'm here to provide a few misc. contributions to STK.

[L]

I am L, Linux user who doesn't afraid of unstable releases.

I recently found out about the red eclipse project and am eager to see how the league mutation is fleshed out.

[watermelon chris]

Hey guys I'm chris... I'm a big fan of super tux and hope to help it in which ever ways possible...

I also am learning C# + XNA at the moment so yup.
Also have some PHP experience so...

Oh I also make music... :P

[malevolent]

Hi there!

I'm malevolent, from Barcelona. I had help some FOSS projects by translating into spanish/catalan because my coding habilities had been decreasing among the years since I became BOFH... I can help to translate any project in the languages I mentioned before, and any issue regarding systems or protocols, but avoiding coding.

I also drink beer as in 'free'

[qubodup]

Hi new faces!

L: Arch Linux?

watermelon chris: got any samples of your music to link to?

malevolent: 1. BOFH 2. Free Beer

[Captain Anarchy]

Hello. I'm here mostly to learn and to beef up my programming skills. I'd also like to learn about open source games in general. I'm pretty much a noob, but am proficient in C and am willing to work hard at learning.

[malevolent]

Oops... Seeing qubodup comment, come to my mind freegamer blog... and I almost forgot that I write - yet another- linux gamming blog.
In spanish and only over 300 articles presenting each one game. So non spanish-spoken people here surely will not visit it, but all of you are welcome!

[Wazubaba]

Hi, Wazubaba here, I'm a player of Red Eclipse. I live in the US.

[Knitter]

Hi,

I've been coming to the forum for some time now, and been a subscriber to the awesome blog for much more. I registered mainly because of Linwarrior3D, I know that there are lot's of nice games being discussed but I'm a Mech fan, a big one , still I've also been following and trying the other games that have a presence here (trying to compile OpenDungeons on OS X, I can't really drive any kart in STK , and I ultimately suck in RE ). I would like to start helping more in some projects (OpenDungeons and LW) if I have the time.

I'm from Portugal and as far as game projects come, I have mostly done some translations in other projects, Wesnoth and FreeCol, though the first is yet to see an official release of the translation and the later is now being done by another user. Currently I collaborate in WTactics (wtactics.org) as translator and developer of SandScape (sourceforge.net/projects/sandscape/), a way to play WT inside the browser.

I do developer work as a freelancer, mainly in Web development (and no, I don't do websites ), using PHP or Java, I also teach programming languages (C, PHP, Java, JavaScript, etc) either to other programmers or in programming courses.

Nice to meet you all,

Knitter

[Stiva]

I am Stiva and nothing I do merits any statement, especially the fact I play RedEclipse.

[fluxord]

... I forgot to introduce myself about 2 months ago, so here it goes:

Hi there,

I'm fluxord, a FOSS-FPS-gamer. Currently I'm looking to contribute some stuff (textures, maybe maps/sounds) for the Red Eclipse FPS game.
I'm from Paraguay, I was born here but I'm going to Austria very soon because I'm from Austrian/German ancestry. So I'm going back to the motherland
Also, I can speak Spanish, German, English (obvious ), some Portuguese and also Guarani (the second main language here in Paraguay).

Some extras bytes: I was a fanatical Slackware Linux user some years ago... Eventually got tired of it (I discovered there is such a thing as Real Life).
Now I mainly use Windows 7 . Seriously, I'm looking for a good Linux distro that works well on DELL studio laptops.

Well that's it, bye!

[Julius]

Uhh seriously? Leaving the nice Paraguay to live in the shithole that is north-central Europe? I hope you have some very good reasons for it (Ever thought about why your ancestors left in the first place... they probably had very good reasons!)

Achja, willkommen bei Freispieler

Du warst doch wirklich wohl noch nie hier im Paraguay, oder?
Europa ist doch wunderbar, überhaupt Österreich, Schweiz und Deutschland.
Und ja, meine Uhreltern kämmen hier drüber bevor denn ersten Welt Krieg weil sie verliebt waren,
aber später wollten sie wieder zurück... so ja Ich gehe auch nach dort drüber bald.
</german>

The only thing I will miss from here is this:


The best beverage for Programmers, Developers, Artists, etc.
Nothing beats it for overnight work (and gaming).

Seriously, it is way better than Coffee/Soda and you can drink it all day. No joke.
Look for "Mate Tea" at your shops .

[qubodup]

fluxord: maybe you can find some of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club-Mate near you

Naja der Rasen ist immer grüner auf der anderen Seite, aber ich denke du kennst Mitteleuropa nur im Sommer und im Urlaub... da kann das ganz nett sein. Aber 10 von 12 Monaten ist das Wetter scheiße hier (und derzeit auch obwohl es Sommer sein sollte) und die meisten Leute dem entsprechend griesgrämig und unfreundlich.
Ich war zwar noch nie in Paraguay (kenne aber ein paar nette Leute von dort) aber ich hab schon ziemlich viel von der Welt gesehen... und nach Deutschland zu ziehen (und Österreich ist da nur wenig besser) kann ich echt nicht empfehlen. Klar woanders gibt es auch viel Scheiße, aber Deutschland ist da ziemlich weit vorne mit dabei... nur von Außen sieht man das nicht so.

Sorry for the German
