Programmers wanted
« on: January 27, 2011, 05:46:55 AM »
In a search to find new qualified coders with experience with Amiga related OS' to write for MorphOS, several of us in the MorphOS community have decided to offer assembled MorphOS systems with Morph2.7 and (if the programmer is qualified) a free key for the OS (a 111 euro value).

If you are an experienced Amiga programmer, please respond and list any projects you might feel capable of undertaking.

this project covers several countries, so I would encourage people regardless of location to respond wit their proposed ideas.

OK we've got ChaosLord interested.
 
Now how about other Amiga coders. Remember as MorphOS is 3.1 compatible (with a LOT of other goodies added) it is a very easy environment for an experienced Amiga programmer to adapt to.
 
This offer of hardware is now valid for several continents and the first systems are ready to be shipped.
 
All you need is experience and a good project and you get the hardware and software FREE!
 
Come on folks! Aren't there any programmers left in our community? Wouldn't you like to experiment with the BEST NG OS currently available for the Amiga market?
 
Just contact us and relay what you'd like to create.
 
We intend to support talented programmers by eliminating their cost of entry.
 
It benefits the coders and the MOS community.
 
Take care all.
Jim

Coding under MorphOs is all a matter of personal choice. Believe it or not, if you wanted to treat it like an Amiga and write 68K code it would run fine. Many coders use C, others use Python, there are literally a multitude of choices.
Its all vey Amiga like only better.
 
And as AOS4 and AROS grow, cross porting should allow all three NG OS' to benefit.
 
Just tell me what project you'd like to work on and I'll run the idea past the MorphOS development team.
 
We have hardware to give to talented programmers, but we can even apply to the MOS developers for OS keys. If they like your project, then the entire system is FREE!
 
Sp let me know what's on your mind and lets get it done!
 
And BTW - Where are the rest of you guys? I KNOW therews taslent out there. Wouldn't you like to use your skills on an expanded 3.1 compatible OS?
 
IF so, contact me at iggybeans@comcast.net listing your programming experience and your proposed project.
 
Its time for new software and we can do it!

thats a very sweet deal iggy. Are you looking for ports or for brand new software? I have some ideas for both but no time to commit to doing anything. (If only I were in high school again, i think I was most productive back then!)



It's a shame you don't have the time. I've gotten about the same number of responses like yours as I have  inquiries about systems.
Even if i can't get a key from the MOS team, I'm probably sending something to Chaos.

Anyone else out there got some ideas? Remember, as was pointed out by previous posts, you can even use 68K code. MorphOS is very flexible and in my humble opinion the best NG OS currently available.

I nominate my good friend Karlos.

I'll give him a G4 tower if the MOS Team provide a free license key.

Please help me save him from the Freidenology cult! :)


Interesting offer. Thanks for offering to join our project Nicholas.
Let's see what Karlos says.

I'm looking to get a G5 ;) (over the sam460 hehe).. I tried to do some dev with my efika + mos but it was not fun.. I know g5 is being worked on but no timeline, I'm patient tho. I might dabble some offline as os3.1app and port it to morphs later on...


That's cool. I'm looking forward to the G5s as wdell. I've already ordered a Radeon X800 XT as Frank says they're going to support the R400 series. I've been trying to get a good price on a 2.0 to 2.5 Ghz Powermac, but so far I haven't had any luck.

just scored a nice g5 Dual 2.0ghz PCI, with 3gb ram with radeon 9600 128mb... Its the M9747LL model (PowerMac7,3). I'd avoid the 2.5, its liquid cooled, too prone to fail. All models greater than 2ghz have liquid cooling...


I thought only the 2.5 and 2.7 Ghz models were liquid cooled. Wasn't there a 2.3 air cooled model?
