FreeLists / haiku-development / [haiku-development] Introducing myself

[ISMA ISWANDY <oray_totog@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody,
    I would like to introduce myself, it would be nice to me, if I could 
join/contribute to this project, after almost 2 year I feel have been lost from 
this world. My name is Isma Iswandy, and now I work as a physics teacher (after 
I've finish my grade 2 years ago) on a high school in a small village in 
Indonesia and there was no internet connection  here before last February. I 
knew OpenBeOS before but not Haiku, so I am newbie for this community.
   If I look my own experience, I think I'm professional enough to be a C, 
Fortran & Pascal developer, C++ ??? Yeaah, Maybe I'm not good but I've learn 
enough for this 2 years to solve my own problen under my BeOS. I also have 
experience writing in Obj-C, ADA & Java (for about 2 years before I work as a 
teacher).
    Hours/week ??? Well, I cannot lie to you, I cannot always connect to the 
Inernet here to know you & learn more about this project this time, it's 
because I don't have enough salary to pay the bill :-(, but  I can spend  more 
time for this project (about  10-14hrs/wks)  when working offline, it might 
help  myself.
     As I told you before I'm a newbie for this community so I haven't 
experience with this version control (Subversion!?), patches, etc, and 
yesterday is my first experience for building and installing Haiku on my own 
machine & harddrive, so I haven't touch anything execpt both GCC distribution, 
and first thing I feel buggy on my system is GCC-2.95.3 distribution when I 
have failed to compile some of obj-c sources of my own project (segmentation 
fault) but this problem doesn't appear under GCC-4  distribution and old 
gcc-2.95.3-beos* that I've got it from bebits, and this problem solved when 
I've replace gcc/c-parse.in or gcc/c-parse.y with the original one. Another 
problem also appear when I've tried to compile some ADA sources with the gnat 
of current GCC-4*, but it could be done by reverting gas/ehopt.c to original 
one under binutils distribution!!! Have I made a mistake here? Does this could 
break binary compatibility for BeOS/Haiku???? I hope
 somebody help me to learn more by answering this silly questions :-|.
    So after all thanks to everybody for everything, & speciall thanks to 
Oliver Tappe as the first man who give me information & advice, and so Axel 
Dörfler for welcoming me to the project.

Cheers, Isma.
