Open Source as Programming Exp. for College Students?
texatut asks: "With the computer industry in a slump, many college CS students nearing graduation are looking at pretty meek prospects. While 'formally' educated, few actually have concrete experience dealing with development of software. Many would like to have something concrete to put down on their resume or application to graduate school. However, starting their own project is a hard and time-consuming task. Obviously, the Open Source community is a perfect place for us to get our hands dirty. My question is, are there any resources that can help people with varying levels of experience connect with development teams in a way that would benefit both the project and the students?"
You couldn't possibly be more thick-skulled could you. You make up random numbers to make it look like you know what you're talking about and then claim that Open Source has something to do with communism--which it has absolutely none of whatsoever. Go crawl back in your hole.
heh.
Since you obviously have no idea what communism is or how it pertains to the OSS community, I have pasted the definition below:
communism (taken from dictionary.com)
A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members.
I rest my case.
PS. I admit I did pull those numbers out of my ass...... but it was to prove a point (that you seemed to have missed).
I expect to see a response like... "communism really isn't that bad...just not implemented correctly"
