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. _________________ Kris Edwards

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. _________________ Kris Edwards
