Oureachy Applicant Introduction

[chhavi gupta]

Hello! I am Chhavi Gupta, a final year Computer Science Student with an
interest in applying for the next round of Outreachy with Wine as some of
the ideas have really caught my attention. I am familiar with C and have
taken a course in Computer Graphics during my third year in college. Github
Profile: https://github.com/chhavip
I am interested in the following projects:

- Winetest Graphical User Interface
   - Winecfg / winemenubuilder - enhance MIME type handling
   - WineCE: Implement the CommandBar

I am quite new to Windows programming hence any guidance on how to get
started will be extremely helpful!

Thank You

Chhavi Gupta

I had a look at your github profile, and it seems you have been working on Android apps for quite some time. If I read it right you have worked on user interfaces as well, which is useful for the projects you have looked at. I do not find anything C related though.

A good starting point is to download and build Wine. For your projects you can look at programs/winetest, programs/winecfg and programs/winemenubuilder (this is where MIME links are currently built). If you have any questions just write to this list, we’re here to help :-) .

Also please be aware of the requirements at https://wiki.winehq.org/Summer_Of_Code https://wiki.winehq.org/Summer_Of_Code . We’re planning to handle Outreachy similarly to gsoc, including the requirement to submit a non-trivial patch before the application deadline.

Best regards,
Stefan
