Hi all,

I have been a user of gentoo for several years (you'd think I'd be smarter by now) and would like to make a contribution to the community. I haven't the skills to be a programmer, but I am willing to offer my voice services to a developer(s) for a suitable project under the GPL terms. This is how I make my living and you can hear samples of what I do at krisedwards dot com.


EDIT: Here's a direct link to save some effort ;) http://krisedwards.com/audio/krisendlaunch.mp3

Once again, I am looking to make a FREE contribution. I'm not looking to take on new clients at this point in time, so please don't take this as spam. This is a genuine offer, so if you have such a need, please get in touch with me while I'm still riddled with guilt :)

I'm sure there are many like me (the majority of linux users in fact) who will never be able to make a worthwhile contribution in the way of code, but would like to show their gratitude to the open source community. Please post here, email or pm with questions. I will ONLY consider open sourced projects and am making this offer exclusively in the gentoo community.


Thanks guys!

Admins/Moderators: I don't think I have crossed any lines here. If I have, please let me know.

Thanks rgk! Nice to have one person on the forum who thinks so :)

I think for the average user, those kind of things are novel for a couple of times (makes you feel like you're in some bad move ... "Acess Denied!"), but it gets old quick. I think the more likely candidates would be video games or perhaps accessibility.

I got a couple of messages regarding Asterisk PBX (which I use A LOT) asking for a male voice as an alternative to the female (Allison Smith). That's quite a bit of work, but if enough people would actually use them I would have no problem doing a community release of generic prompts.

I know this is kind of a niche that would appeal to a small fraction of developers in these forums, but I'll leave the offer open for the time being to see if one should happen to stumble upon the thread.
