Hi Stefan ,
  I have been using python for developing simple image processing applications . I have used skimage as well. I would love to contribute to a project which involves image processing and machine learning but most importantly I want to gain an experience of working with open-source communities.

I am interested in contributing to the Face Detection project. It would be helpful if I can get some tasks/ references / coding guidelines so that I can get started.

Thank you

Regards,
Amit
