[Opencd-devel] Hello All. "First Post" ;-)

[Toby I. <to...@go...>]

Hello,

OK. So now we have an abundance of volunteers and resources. We're going to have to get organised. As I see it, we need to split into a few groups. These groups will need to work together, but seperately... if you see what I mean.


  ** Designers **

  About 2 people who have some experience and talent with graphic
  design need to sit down and design us logos, a colour scheme and
  an overall "look and feel". 

  These designs should be used on the CD itself (in the autorun
  menu, for instance) and on our end-user website, TheOpenCD.com.


  ** Webmasters **

  While Henrik and I can probably manage running TheOpenCD.org (which
  is planned to be the development headquarters), we'll need a team
  of people to run TheOpenCD.com. You will probably want some experience
  with SQL, PHP or Perl.

  The website will probably need to provide a seamless transition to
  OpenSourceWare.net, which is to become an area for tutorials and
  links to open source projects.


  ** Developers **

  Last but not least, we'll need a few people to put together the actual
  CD. These people will need a certain amount of experience in graphical
  Win32 programming. If people interested in joining this team could email
  me, I could get an idea of what development tools you were all most
  comfortable using and pick a language for the project - C, C++, VB, etc.


So, as I was saying before. We now have an abundance of resources. In
particular, we have 2 fully-featured bulletin boards (theopencd.org and opensourceware.net) and the sourceforge mailing list (which has its archives on the web!)

This, I think, is too much. It is far too decentralised. I would suggest that everyone joins the mailing list, because email is probably the most convenient of these. That way we can start putting the websites to good use.

Of course, if some of you disagree, we'll have to come up with a better idea.

If you want to join the mailing list, you can do so at this URL:
  https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opencd-devel

Alternatively, you can sign up by email -- just send a quick email to ope...@li... with the word "subscribe" (without the quote marks) as the body.
