[Bf-committers] Join Blender UI Team

[Taye Adebanjo Adeyemi]

Hello
I'm an engineering student who will soon be specialising in computer
engineering.

I'd like to say that this topic interests me very much as I have paid
attention attention to the progression of Blender's UI over the years. I
have recently began reading a book on interaction design and it is
thrilling to see aspects of UI design being implemented in that mockup (the
use of grids and borders).
I am proficient with c++ and javascript and am working on improving my
familiarity with python.

I will be applying for GSoC and would like to know if this would be
something worth basing my application on.

Thanks,
Taye
