Ask HN: Looking for contributors?

18 points by antonius ↗ HN
Although a similar post was made a month ago (see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7360491), I thought I'd post this again in case people may have missed it and are looking for contributors.

I'm working a JS 3D graph visualization library. Think Sigma.js, but 3D. You can see a fairly lame demo here:

http://froosky.rwell.org/graphosaurus/examples/eve/

and the source:

https://github.com/frewsxcv/graphosaurus/

Check the source on the examples page if you want to see the API thus far. While progress is being made, having other contributors (especially ones with WebGL, Three.js, or graphics backgrounds) definitely helps. Please please please let me know if you have any comments about anything related to the project. If you have any ideas for demo/example graphs, please share them! I'm getting tired of staring at the EVE Online universe :P

Noobs(and mentors) wanted!

I'm looking for people who have been through Codecademy, Codeschool or any other "teach yourself to code" platform and have learnt at least some frontend and some backend technologies.

I want to help you guys build real projects that you can show off on your resumes, etc.

If anyone is interested, just reply here and I will create some type of form to capture info.

Mentors welcome too!!!

Hello, I have been through a lot of those and feel very comfortable coding. However I don't think I can fully manage resume worthy projects yet. How can we get in touch?
I'll bite. I've been studying a lot through tutorials and have built some small side projects, but nothing that I feel really proud of. Am definitely seeking some mentorship as I start to tackle something more important.
Let me create a form. I don't think I'll get much of an audience here, so I'll try in other noob areas.

I will link back here though.

I am very much interested and looking for a mentor. I have gone through a few online courses on Udacity, Codeacademy and Coursera and can work at an amateur level with the following:

- Python

- HTML5 and some javascript

- Google App Engine

- Git

- Heroku

- Some AWS

Here are a few things that I was able to ship :)

- ishareflix.appspot.com

- www.punjabirangmanch.com

- gyaansharing.appspot.com

I posted this on the last thread, but I am definitely still looking for volunteers.

I'm actually currently starting to look for a co-contributor or two, there is so much that I want to get done, and having an extra set of eyes and hands would be great.

I am working on a framework/concept called ghostream (https://ghostream.com / https://github.com/ghostream/ghostream)

ghostream is a stream processing framework, built in C++ - it is a data stream processing framework. Having used numerous commercial ones (most notably IBM's Streams), and building various other part-frameworks (i.e. for time and budget reasons focussed on one particular thing) I has an itch to build an open source one (while storm and samza are definitely related, I feel they fall into a slightly different category - I'm all about the streams :) )

It is still in very active development - but the base is solidified now and the new test framework is starting to shape up nicely. There are a whole list of issues on github + a roadmap waiting to be exploited.

I have already started dog-fooding it in my other personal projects - the most visual of which can be seen here: http://jamielewis.me.uk/posts/2013-11-03-Mapping-Earthquakes....

If this strikes your interest give me a shout: jamie@ghostream.com.
