Jeremy aka Boucman is probably the oldest active developer in the wesnoth
community. He started contributing by adding death animations and has
worked on that part of wesnoth ever since, transforming it into a highly
versatile animation engine. He also started a few community projects like
the WML manual in the wiki and the new contributor process.

Wesnoth's animation engine has evolved organically thoughout the years.
Getting all the units to work together in an eye pleasing way is a tricky
matter

This session will presents the wesnoth animation from a user point of view,
i.e how to code an animation into wesnoth, but this will mainly be an
excuse to present the specific challanges of writing a versatile animation
description language in a turn based game where the user's attention is
always focused on the animated unit

> - The desired approximate duration for the session.
45' + questions

> - The desired timeslot in which they want to hold the session.
No preference.
