Starting an open source development community

[jmiller]

You can count me in also, if you want.
Though my main area of expertise is PalmOS.

 

[Epgs]

Absolutly, everyone drop me a pm or e-mail so I have better track and I will get the forums up asap. That way we can start with forums and add each piece as we go.

Not to be rude, but did you ever start up that online teaching site?

Anyways, this sounds like a really good idea!

 

[Epgs]

Well that online teaching site would be part of this. It would teach open source classes, as soon as we get up and running.

 

[Nocturnal]

What are you thinking template wise?

 

[Epgs]

What do you mean by that? Like what the website will function like, or what it will look like?

 

[Nocturnal]

What are looking for your designer(s) to do for you?
Looking for someone to design it and code the php/html or just a psd file?

 

[Epgs]

I would love for someone to donate the design and code of the website. That would be great. See I am not very good at cutting psd files. Now if I have to I can design it myself, but that isn't the ideal situation for me.

 

[Nocturnal]

I'll see if I can come up with something. I can slice it up for you if you would code it.

 

[Epgs]

That would be great. I am working on setting up the hosting right now.

 

[Coolin]

Are you going to get a dedicated server for this?

 

[GregT]

Epgs, i'll be glad to help. I can moderate php, c++, html, and linux. My areas of expertise If you need any help coding i'll be glad to help Long live Open Source

 

[Epgs]

Ok I have setup the webspace. Now if someone would like to setup a message board so we can all talk there that would be great, and if someone wants to start on the design that would be awesome too. Just let me know.

The webspace is at http://www.lostsector.net/~n8o/

 

[notnamed]

I can set up the forum :classic2:
I personally like Phorum and WBB, but I'll install anything. (Note, I've only installed Phorum 5, which is alpha, but doesn't seem to have any bugs so far.)

 

[Epgs]

Well I have the webspace all setup and I am just waiting for domains to resolve. Notnamed will be setting up the forum and we can move all discussion over there.

 

[GregT]

Edit: came back up a few minutes later, also there is nothing there ? Just teh default page.

 

[Epgs]

Right it will be the default page till we get a webdesigner

 

[notnamed]

Epgs, I didn't get a reply from you...I only got the first message. If you sent it, try resending to jordan @[at]@ not-named dot net (remove the obvious crap).
