Neptune - Looking for a developer

Post by neon »

Neptune Operating System Suite

Hello everyone,

I am looking for another developer for Neptune, our operating system software. The goal is to complete the core components of Neptune. Neptune is closed source software hosted over SVN, with its own C bootloader and about 30 kloc.

Requirements:
-Must be proficient in C. Experience in x86 assembly language is a plus but not required.
-Must know how to work with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008. The system has been ported to this package and you will be required to build with it.

Technically any good compiler that can produce PE executables should work, however not without some minor porting changes. Once Neptunes toolchain is completed we wont be using Visual C++ anymore.

If anyone is interested, please feel free to reply here, PM me, or email me.

Thank you,

~Mike ();

Hi, Neon:

I saw on your homepage the paragraph that described the core components of Neptune, and you mentioned a "Neptune Standard BIOS". I'm sorry for posting OT, but could you give a short discourse on what your Standard BIOS is?

I can't infer properly what it is just from the name.

--Sorry if I'm amiss

Hello gravaera,

That is a side project, while it is a part of Neptune its not being used and doesnt do anything yet. Its experimental only.

By "Core Components" in reference to this post I am referring to completing the core of the operating system itself.

Hello earlz,

This is a request for a possible additional developer to aid in the project. The member should "want" to join not feel that they have to. As of moment the project is not under NDA, however there is a restriction on the use of the software.

I am looking for one additional developer to help with the project if they are interested.

Thank you,

Hello everyone,

I am going to close this request until [we] meet the next project goal. If anyone is still interested, please let me know.

Thank you,

*edit: Because the post has been removed, I decided to edit out my response to the other post in favor of a cleaner thread. Thanks AJ for cleaning up the thread! :D

Hi,

I have deleted the off-topic and irrelevant posts that had cluttered this thread. This is a well thought-out request for assistance on an established project and is not a "n00b" request. Further flaming of the OP for this reason of for his choice about how to licence the project will not be tolerated.

Cheers,
Adam
