Stephen,

I am interested in helping out with the legOS project.  I can contribute to
the development on Windows OS and general project development and assitance.

For some background on my experiences I have
- BS and MS in Electrical Enginnering with an emphisis on digital signal
proccessing, biomedical engineering and advance mathematics
- 3 years of C programming experience, C++ familarity
- worked 1 1/2 years as an application engineer for a software company that
had very good software practices
- worked 1 1/2 years as a senior software engineer for a DSP company that
had a mix of both good and poor software practices
- embedded systems experience with emphisis on application design, autocode
generation, application coding, and host-side software (windows os).
- programming languages include C (3 yrs), C++ (basic), MATLAB (8 yrs),
Simulink (3 yrs), LabWindows (1.5 yrs), LaTeX (used for thesis), and a
desire to learn Perl and MySQL.

Some things that I am lacking include
- lack of a LEGO MindStorm and current lack of funds to purchase one
- lack of any experience on a Linux machine and little experience with unix
- fairly new experience with open source software, management, and philosophies

Most importantly I have some time and desire to contribute to the project.

I have also been talking with a neighbor of mine who has unix/Linux
adminstration and trainor experience.  He has expressed interest in working
with me on some software projects. He currently has a unix machine with a
Jan 2001 version of Solaris, a red-hat distrib of linux (which I believe he
was going to install a newer debian version?), and a windows 98 machine.

I will contact Luis about adding me as a developer to the project and will
go from there.

Ed

Mark, (...) I'm the Debian GNU/Linux Maintainer for legOS and am a current member of the sourceforge legOS project. I've been talking with Luis (albeit, given his response times it feels rather one sided [to be fair he said this would happen...] ;-) (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
