MEDIA!<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

These days media has become an important part of the web, mainly in terms of cross media and platform.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

From twitter to facebook, and images to film, wordpress needs to support everything and anything in a simple to use and understand way.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

This needs to include Video, RSS+XML, Images and the related effective ways to show them to a visiting user.<\/p>\n

Open Source Development Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I contribute (ir)regularly to phpBB, forum software, both as a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153modder\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, creating and supporting modifications\/extra features and assisting users on the forum with posted problems about there own forum, been very busy at Uni this year, hence irregularly.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year for GSoC I was working with PHP, on the now aborted one bug tracker to rule them all.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have\/am in the process of building my own Open Source Content Management System written in PHP, CarlyonCMS.<\/p>\n

Work\/Internship Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Only freelance web development work, on stand alone sites and the Facebook Platform, for Applications.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

And of course GSoC last year.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I also volunteer at LSRfm.com Leeds Student Radio, I am currently Head of Web Development<\/p>\n

Academic Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I am currently in my Second Year, studying New Media at the University of Leeds, UK.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why WordPress?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Basically its difficult to find projects to match my skills set since GSoC tends to have projects that require code to run continuously not single run code like a website.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I nearly applied for WordPress last year, however I came in a little late and applied during the extended application period.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Myself<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

GSoC is an interesting platform, however it can be difficult to find a project, that fits my skill set, I’m not a programming in the sense that one builds a programme to run continuously, but more of a coder who builds websites.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I was the recent winner of the Gary Frisch Bursary for Software in radio, for my Open Source Content Management System, which currently runs the LSRfm.com (Leeds Student Radio) website, (http:\/\/LSRfm.com\/<\/a>). This CMS (Carlyon CMS) I will use to form the basis of the web based Client.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I used to be able to program perl, but of late have not had the chance to practice it so my perl is rusty, I am currently learning Ruby on Rails and Coldfusion as well.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

My aim in life is to continue working in the Multi Platform Radio Environment in the UK, which is pretty much what I do at the moment as a Volunteer at LSRfm.com where I am Head of Web Development.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year I was involved with the Now Aborted, One Bug Tracker to Rule them all Project over at PHP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
