Hi Marianne, Brandon and Gus,

I am Ayse Koksoy. I started working as an image and data analyst in Texas AM almost year ago. I know enough python and image analysis to barely keep my head above water. I am hoping I can be helpful; also  I want to advance my skills in using scikit-image and python, and may be even contribute to scikit-image;
I would love to be a part of this journey,

My GitHub is https://github.com/ak1920
My linked is https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayseakoksoy/

Thank you,
Ayse

Hi again Brandon,

No worries: You've got to start somewhere, right? Have you browsed
through our 'good first issues'
(https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22)?

Which one(s) would you like to tackle? Otherwise, would you like to
contribute a small demo to the gallery
(https://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/auto_examples/)? Maybe you
could recreate a microscopy application, even as a toy example
version?

Cheers,
Marianne

Hello Marianne,

My handle is 'beeread'; however, I haven't made any personal projects. You probably won't find much, if anything, on my profile.

The scripting work I've done for my company is small-scale and has never surpassed 1000 lines of code. The largest project I worked on involved using OpenCV to do basic image processing on our electron microscope micrographs. I cannot legally share any of this work.

These disappointing facts motivate my outreach - I'd like to start developing a public portfolio of projects that I can eventually showcase to apply to jobs such as (https://www.gene.com/careers/detail/202104-110437/cryoEM-Senior-Scientific-Researcher-Computational).

Thank you for your consideration,
Brandon Read

Hi Brandon,

Thank you for your interest! What's your GitHub handle, please?
Alternatively, do you have a company or personal web page showcasing
your current or past projects?

Thank you,
Marianne

Hi all,

I'm interested in contributing to scikit-image but I am new to scientific programming. I studied physics in undergrad and have a minor in bioinformatics. As a result, I'm familiar with oop, data structures, and algorithms. I'd like some mentorship to get started on actually developing / contributing code. I'm interested in image processing for structural biology applications, and sometimes in my spare time I write scripts for my current company. However, it is not production-grade, and it is quite hacky. I'm hoping that through contributing to scikit-image, in whatever way possible, I can gain some skills and give back in parallel.

According to the scikit-image website, mentoring is available and it seems like contributing to open source is encouraged. Would anyone be interested in mentoring me?

Thank you for your time,
Brandon Read
