I'm looking for a project to join and would like to know who could use me .

I know C#, x86/x64 assembly, am learning C. I can take C code and convert it into optimized C# or assembly. I have a 3 quad-core AMDs, one running fedora 11, one running windows 7, and the third is a testbed. I also have a Celeron D, testbed. Just noticed that this sounds like a bad resume and I have skills in 3D graphics and game design.

If you're interested, check out my project:

I'll setup a git repo if you're interested. I'm still pretty early on as far as development goes, so you'd be able to influence a bunch of design decisions

Oh, C#?

Then we'd like to welcome you on board. Come take a look at http://mosa-project.org

I'd really recommend setting up a virtual machine and looking at code and binaries from the links on the project list. 90% of projects are really not far along enough to support much concurrent development without very close contact. Just try and find something you like and contact the head developer of that project.

This is a surprisingly uncommon question - most people who start out make one fifth of a simple OS and try to advertise it to other members (with little success). Free developers are in extremely short supply, so expect a lot of people advertising their OSes on this thread.

(Obviously, due to ego reasons,) I think you should check out my project as well. I'm not quite ready for other developers, but within the next few weeks I expect the kernel to be stable (it works now, but there are a couple of bugs related to the driver API), at which point drivers can be written. It's a microkernel, so driver development is very abstracted from the rest of the system. What I really need help with is graphics, specifically creation of a good graphics API. If you're interested, my git repo is in my sig and my email is in my profile.

I agree with checking things first - You'd best settle for a project that interests you as well.

Lets continue on your resume:
- What do you want to learn
- If you joined a project, what would you do first.
And the interesting part, how come you mention 3D graphics and game design (especially without having C/C++, which is the standard companion to that set)?

Well, the main reason I posted was that it would allow those that are looking for, or could use help with their projects the ability to see what skills I have and determine if I could be any help at all to their project.

I mention the game design and 3D graphics because I have ported (partially) the DirectX engine to C# and have done game design in both assembly and C#. I have knowledge of various graphics APIs and so could help with any graphics programming, especially if it was in C# or assembly.

Furthermore, I plan on continuing to learn C/C++ whether during the OS development or on my own, but i do have enough knowledge to convert C to optimized assembly or to convert C/C++ to C# without unmanaged PInvoke calls.

We could really need a helping hand to port the few percent of the mono class libraries that still use P/Invokes to C#.
We want to use a 100% C# version of the mono class libraries and furthermore need some helping hands with the compiler and kernel.

If interested, jsut visit #mosa on irc.freenode.net

54616E6E6572: I have responded to your PM.

How well would you say you know C? Also, are you comfortable with the flat assembler?

I sent you a PM

Actually not cause i am just making my OS with a didactic aim. Maybe if my project becomes more intresting...

C# is in high demand these days.. thought about trying to get a real job programming? (or do you have one but still somehow enjoy it as a hobby as I sometimes do? lol)
