Greetings All, I am a newbie in your community. Seeing there's no open source desktop OS I'd like to contribute to the possible creation of one. I'm from Russia so pardon my English. My skills: I am a professional C developer, but as a hobbyist I have also experience in C++ (not that much, unfortunately, but I am quite "learnable" I think), Java (about 2+ yrs), Ruby (I know it well enough, but may it help here? Maybe porting ruby and doing some scripting stuff or so?), Lisp/Scheme (average), OCaml (I suppose it's not interesting at all to you) and some other stuff which I don't care about remembering. I professionaly work in software development for mobile devices (phones, Motorola) and work mostly in Multimedia area, particularly in cataloging/navigation. Also I have experience of creation of Unit test framework. Hrs/week: this may vary greatly due to my busyness at work. But I can guarantee about 10-14 hrs/week. I'd like to work on UI & data cataloging/navigation probably. I mean for this point of development. If you need a developer who would like to work towards Web 3.0, widget platform or so, let me know when it will be appropriate =) Also I'd like to write user-space applications more than digging into system, but this is also the note for future. So I suppose it's all I have to say at the moment. Hope to find here what I hope to find. All the best, jartur
