Onboarding

[197g]

Welcome

To be added to the image-rs organization, simply ask nicely in the comments below. We'll send you an invitation asap. We also plan to give each member space in the blog when it is setup.

Hi! I'm using image in a photo-managing web application (and some experiments). I also once contributed some code for faster thumbnailing of large images. Now that you asked, I'm here to show my interest.

Hi 👋 I'm glad you found the blog and also welcome (back) under the new organization.

@HeroicKatora Hi, I submitted a minor PR to image-rs/image. Could I become a collaborator?

[197g]

@JohnTitor Yes you can, thank you for the short wait. I see you helped with even more style improvements :)

Hey, may I kindly request an invite ? I'm the guy who initially extracted the TIFF code from image into image-tiff, and lurked around providing the occasional review. I don't expect to be the most active person around, but I'll gladly help here and there when I can.

@Robzz Your invitation was a pitfall with a lot of other people with very similar user names but yes, of course. Welcome back then.

Hi there, I don't have too much experience with this library. I really like what you all do here and I am eager to learn more rust and image processing. I would love to contribute to this repo. Can I be added as a collaborator? I am hoping to generate some more examples within the next few weeks to learn a bit more about the library

Hi, I'd like an invite. I use image (and a few of the format-specific crates directly) heavily for biomedical image processing and have contributions in at least four of the repos here.

@aschampion Will be sent swiftly and well deserved. Welcome :)

@HeroicKatora I have an obscure, and possibly quixotic interest in incorporating support for ILBM files into the Rust ecosystem. ILBM is an IFF based Amiga format, also used in some old games for the PC. I have a prototype decoder I hacked up (see https://github.com/sirxyzzy/ilbm), and I am continuing to test and extend it, it is a long way from primetime, but I wondered if there was any interest in my eventually folding this into "image", as a supported format? If so, I would be happy to to do that work.

@sirxyzzy Hi 👋 An obscure format itself is no problem. In fact we already support farbfeld which is probably unknown to a lot of users. However, being both rare and a prototype is hard to maintain. I'd be glad to review a PR and the crate as an optional feature when you feel it is relatively stable (note: erroring, but not panicking, on some unsupported features would be fine). Feel free to use the image-rs crates for some ideas of how to achieve that, e.g. seting up fuzzing or CI, and don't hesistate to ask in a new issue if anything is unclear or you've made progress.
I've sent a collaborator invite. If you'd like you could make blog posts on major progress points or when you resolve some issue on the way that others might find instructive. In any case, have fun coding :)
