Open Source Software

[AndroidOS]

I want to get involved in an open source software project, but I'm not to sure which one to get involved in, so I'd like your suggestions. It can be anything, from web based stuff to software like Chromium.

Also, I know about phpBB and MyBB obviously, so please don't recommend them.

Thanks! 🙂

Why don't you create your own Forum software? You may earn cash from it!
I know it's hard, but you can sell it or give it for free.

I deleted your double post for you. 😉

It does not have to involve forums, I'm just looking for something to get involved in.

Have you Tried punBB before?

 

[AndroidOS]

I have heard of it, but I've never tried it.

Then why not starting making some shots on it?

There is also SMF which since the final release of 2.0 has been truly open source.(BSD License)

There is also Gimp that is looking for more developers to fix bugs on the Windows Version.

I guess the main thing is what kind of projects do you wanna help with?

Forum Software,Web Browsers,Editing Software,Music Software, etc?

Thanks for the ideas NBK. 🙂

I really don't mind what type of software it is. All that I want is a friendly community behind it.

Hi Android, perhaps browse around https://github.com That's basically the kingdom of opensource projects and you can find just about any project on there... including computer languages themselves!

I know Nu and Ruby are two as well as the Ruby on Rails framework that has tons of contributors.

Here are some trending repos, but don't let this list be the end to your search, for there are hundreds of thousands of community repositories out there!

EDIT

Not to mention... even Wordpress has some of their source code there https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress

I'd also like to recommend the SimpleMachines forum software project; Particularly building mods for it. Whenever an OSD modification gets made, it is almost never updated in a timely manner, and even after the updates, many of them simply don't work at all. The more help we can get in SMF the better.

Thank you for all of your suggestions, it is greatly appreciated.

So is SMF no longer coming out with new releases then or what's up there? Sorry to go offtopic.

Just an idea, you could create your own Remote Desktop Viewer? Like Team Viewer etc.
