Hi , I am a embedded system driver programmer. I want to learn more about OS. I tried to write one by myself, but it is very difficult for just one person to do it.

So I want to join a team. If any one can give some information, that would be very great.

I would venture to say that it is more difficult to do something you cannot do yourself, in a team, because you get the difficulties of the former with the difficulties of team management.

I suggest you try and write one yourself, get experience first.

Hi,

Are you looking for a paid job, or are you looking to join a voluntary project? Your title and post strike me as being in the former category.

I am not in the IT industry but am a director of a small business. From that point of view, I would suggest that sending a well written, succinct CV and covering letter to a load of likely looking companies would be the best way to go about things. Let them know why you are the person for the job - I would think you embedded systems experience will count for a lot. Also get trade journals and look through the ads there.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with doing what you have done and using approprate forums either.

Apologies if your post actually fell in to the latter category and you are just looking to join an existing voluntary project.

Cheers,
Adam

Right, and I'd suggest writing your own before joining a project. Yes it is difficult, but that shouldn't put you off.

Well as much as the general feeling is that you should write your own first, if you wrote a good bootloader the Commune project wouldnt reject it. I have one written but the code is all over the place and mostly buggy. I would love to be able to focus on the kernel and this is where you would be starting anywhoo.

You can contact me if interested at: [email protected]

...not to mention many projects are dead, the people are unreachable, or just want to do it on their own...

I'd rather go down the memberlist to see what everybody has achieved so far.

I think people must be doing that. Over the past 6 months I've had around 10 PMs from people wanting to join our project, seemingly completely out of the blue.

Nobody wants to join my project [I'm not looking for anyone, btw

I have contemplated several times about the idea of joining a project too. I decided to have my own test bed first before going around with someone else's.

I do wonder what Brendan's reaction is going to be by that time...
