Hi, my name is Alexia Mandeville, and I'm from Florida in the US. I currently attend the University of Central Florida and I'm in my senior year of Game Design, with a specialization in game programming.
I have worked with Joomla! and Wordpress, but I have never worked with Drupal up until now. Since being accepted with my mentor, I have been learning PHP and Git. I use PHP at my job, along with Git, so I'm becoming familiar with it.
I expect this to be a fun project, and should be helpful to the community since the IMCE module is widely used by people needing to upload photos.
You can view more details about my project here: http://alexiamandeville.com/2014/03/21/proposal-for-google-summer-of-cod...
I know my mentor personally and we have since started attending a local Drupal meetup that she was involved in prior to GSOC. Communication won't be an issue as I visit her frequently. The meetup was very excited to hear about my project, so I now have a community to rely on as well as this community in order to complete my project.
Looking forward to diving into this!
