LOL, I find it hard to focus on projects work pay me for. Don't see how I'd motivate myself for an open source project.

i wanna help. but im not sure what value i'd add since im mechanical.


You could help because the development process have multiple stages...Engineers can be extremely helpful throughout the first three stages...after the first three, it's all about programming...

1) Formulate Requirements Figure out exactly what the problem to be solved is. Try to understand as much as possible about it. Until you really know what the problem is, you cannot begin to solve it.

2) Determine Specifications Describe exactly what your program will do. At this point, you should not worry about how your program will work, but rather with deciding exactly what it will accomplish. For simple programs this involves carefully describing what the inputs and outputs of the program will be and how they relate to each other.

3) Create a Design Formulate the overall structure of the program. This is where the how of the program gets worked out. The main task is to design the algorithm(s) that will meet the specifications.

4) Implement the Design Translate the design into a computer language and put it into the computer.

5) Test/Debug the Program Try out your program and see if it works as expected. If there are any errors (often called bugs), then you should go back and fix them. The process of locating and fixing errors is called debugging a program.

6) Maintain the Program Continue developing the program in response to the needs of your users. Most programs are never really finished; they keep evolving over years of use.

:manny: I can understand this....

Once you become fluent in 1 language, its easy to use another. The only thing that's different is the syntax (which is the easy part). The hard part is learning to program.

I keep hearing this. I definitely don't know the in and outs of java or really how to gui interface. I write mostly firmware applications, but my logic is on point.

Let a breh know, this could be interesting :cheers:

Ah if you dont know any OOP it can be a pain at first.

Even though im working on a game( prototype is not even done yet ) Id be down.

What language?

what type of program did you guys have in mind?

we could host the project in Git repo servers or MS codeplex site.

This is what I think of open source development... :piss:

It's like this. I'm going to get paid if I'm going to put in time and effort.

Open source is for simps. Would you pay a woman $1,000 and fix her car for 20 hours in the rain... just for her to end up dating another dude who gave her $0 and spent 0 hours working on her car? That's what open source is like.
