My name is Philipp Weissenbacher, I'm a second semester cs student at the University of Vienna. My primary field of interest is HCI and i18n; to a lesser extent more technical things like coding.

I've joined the VideoLAN project like 1 year ago, but haven't been very active. I've been helping Felix Kühne with the German translation and I'm trying to improve the wiki in as many ways I can. Although still being a C++ newbie, I'm looking forward to contribute to VLC media player itself soon (especially to it's brand new Qt Interface to which I'm also fairly new). From time to time I'm getting the latest nighties to see if everything (still) works fine. See my contributions if you're more curious.

TODO

• Think about applying for SoC 2008. Fullscreen Controller looks tasty! Gone! Resort to wiki editing
• Read C++ Primer Bad choice; read TC++PL instead
• Get and read C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4
  • Ha! Free version here.
• Style the fullscreen controller with Qt Style Sheet to make it look more like the one on OS X.
  • Supports:
    • Round corners
    • Transparency (specify background-color as a rgba color)
    • More things to ponder on?
• Get in touch with the polish translators what the heck Pootle is good for. [DONE!]

Nice, but Problem is that you can't export to one file without help from the admin.
