Here you can: * join and learn/code with: * '''Townsquare Project: '''web application - Drupal (present) and Django (proposed) -''' '''https://github.com/freegeekchicago/townsquare * '''The Gnome Project: '''To be involved with the GNOME hackfest, it would be best to have your own computer or laptop with a recent version of GNOME 2 or GNOME 3 running on it. It would be okay to use GNOME via a LiveCD or Live USB. Much of GNOME is written in C and Python. People who have experience and interest in these areas will be given guidance about how to work with the code. There are also many other areas of GNOME that do not involve so much coding if there is an interest, such as how to work with GNOME configuration internals or graphic design opportunities. http://www.gnome.org/ * '''Kevin Brandstatter + Android Framework:''' setting up the environment and starting a basic project, code management and maintaining a project. Any code would be in java and the end product might be more of a group idea. * bring your own open source project, work on that, and get help/advice from the community === Registration === If you write open source software, use free software, or want to learn about software freedom, come join us for Software Freedom Day!
