multiple programming languages, <snip> there was a large crowd of people out there that would like to use the GNOME libraries from their favorite programming language...
app development. ✣ Ximian chose .NET (ECMA C# and CLI) as the development framework. ✣ Nicely integrated with existing C libraries (P/Invokes) ✣ Mono was born from Linux/GNOME based Open culture.
all online: chat, emails, source code repos WFH, no reason to go to office No invasive activities from local office (you *can* still get involved, to some extent) ✣ Mostly working in the night... European from around 3-8pm (JST) East coast Americans from 11pm-ish West coast ... 2am-ish and DST changes
write it... ✣ But tech. English is different: simple Good specifications / docs are written in simple English Easier than Harry Potter! ✣ Better if you can speak and listen to, but not mandatory. I couldn't at all. "Can you write the details on email later?" ✣ You can survive!
not as easy as before ✣ AOSP, dotnet: the `Cathedral` model ✣ Young Bazaar projects are easier to join getting job and/or making money is different matter. You judge them.
