Hi,
My name is Kevin, I am a professional software engineer in my mid twenties from Dublin, Ireland.
I have been playing Morrowind for the first time recently using OpenMW and I have been really enjoying it. I got interested in contributing to OpenMW when I was playing the game and noticed the rain clipping through the tunnels in Vivec city, spoiling the mood completely. I was curious if there was a mod or fix for that and went down a bit of a rabbit hole and discovered this community. (That particular issue has been taken though, to my dissapointment )
I have studed Computer Science up to masters level with a focus on functional languages. I have about 3 years of experience working with large python codebases. My C++ skills are fairly rusty but I'm hoping to improve.
I have been interested in learning a bit about game engines so this project looks ideal. I am hoping that doing a bit of coding in my spare time will benefit me in my career.
Cheers guys!

Welcome aboard... you've joined us at an interesting time.
You can either dig in to fixing bugs in OpenMW (game engine) or helping with features in OpenMW-CS (getting to know the Qt GUI framework; editor). Anything in particular you would like to focus on? The project is really big so developers tend to specialize in particular areas of the code-base.
Have you got yourself familiar with the developer checklist?

Be warned, our tooling is going through flux, so we also support (and recommend) GitLab but for now the older infrastructure is still online.
