My Experience so Far: It has been almost a month, since the commencement of community bonding period and the phase was mostly good. I spent most of my time lurking over the IRC in passive reconnaissance mode, force of habit I mostly speak less and I know it is not a good one especially being part of an open-source community.

Coming to my project, I will be working on Integration of MyPaint brush engine in Krita. MyPaint developers have separated out their brush engine in the form of a library Libmypai...
