[Daniel McNeela]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Daniel McNeela, and I'm a rising senior at the University of
California, Berkeley studying applied mathematics and computer science. I
used Blender frequently in middle school and high school to learn about 3d
graphics and animation, so I'm excited to learn more about its development.

I have a couple of questions about contributing for anyone who's
knowledgeable about the project.

1. I don't currently have access to a desktop machine, and I use my laptop
for the majority of my coding work. As such, I don't have a dedicated
graphics card, and I don't know if this will lead to issues with actually
running Blender for testing purposes. Would this likely be a great
impediment to contributing?

2. For projects, would you suggest I stick to the ones outlined on the
project ideas page, or are proposals for other ideas welcomed as well?

Thanks for your help,

Daniel
