I've had a few developers contact me about helping with my open source project. I'm still looking for a couple more, so if you have some spare time on your hands and want to jump in please email me.
The project is a multi tiered training and certification tracking program. Basically, there are a ton of non-profit orgs (fire stations, schools, etc) that need to keep track of all the training and certifications their members/volunteers have. (CPR certification for one, there are tons of examples).
My goal in this “experiment” is to get some developers together, build a solid database structure, build a database independent data layer, build a business objects/collections layer, and then put together an asp.net front end in one build and a winforms front end in another build.
The language used will be C#. The product will be made available for free download with source code included. The only caveat in the license is the code is only to be used internally/not for resale/redistribution. My company will also host the asp.net version of the application at cost for not for profit organizations that don't have the IT-Savvy to run it on their own. The team of developers who assist me with the project will get the first shot at any customization contracts that any downloaders request. Customizations are billed at an hourly rate.
So if you're interested in helping with something like this, let me know!
