[Atomos-discuss] Developers' Introductions

[Scott E. <ps...@gm...>]

Hi all,

First off, I'd like to send a belated Happy Holidays to the list.
Hope you all had a good Holiday Season.

Next, I'd like to introduce a new developer to the project - Fordi -
who has some Linux and Web Development experience.

Finally, I'd like to ask all developers on the project to introduce
themselves and their backgrounds in this thread.  Primarily to give
all of us an idea of our backgrounds so that we're all aware of what
our combined skills look like.  As the project manager I guess I
should start off, so...

I'm Scott, and Atomic OS is my poison-of-choice.  Over the last 20
years or so, I've developed a number of applications and utilities in
various languages (from C/C++ to Pascal/Delphi/Kylix, to
Basic/VB/RealBasic, to Assembly, to AJAX, to...), one real-mode x86 OS
called GEOS (General Expirements in Operating Systems - not the GEOS
returned as a search result by Google or other search sites), and a
game engine called SAGE (Simple Adventure Game Engine) done in
DarkBasic for Windows.

Over the last 4 or 5 years, I've focused on learning the FOSS (Free &
Open Source Software) development paradigm and methodologies.  Atomic
OS is the result of that research and the need to make web-based user
interfaces more intuitive - based on the desktop and command-line UI
paradigms.

Particular interests are:  Furthering the spread of fundamental
Computer Science knowledge and FOSS development strategies in general,
as well as Social Science and OS/Web/Game development techniques in
specific.
