How to Go About Team Building?

Posted by Cliff on Monday October 31, 2005 @02:20PM from the in-search-of-project-members dept.

B1-66ER asks: "I'm trying build a team of elite overclockers for HWLogic, and a group of developers for our mulit-platform benchmark CPU-XMark. Now, before you tell me to use SF's Project Help Wanted, just remember: Linus Torvalds didn't have the online community development tools that we use now. I'd like to go beyond the help of SourceForge [which is part of the same company as Slashdot] to ultimately create my own organization in the way that Linus has now. It is my goal to one day get CPU-XMark to be a multi-platform Open Source clone of Futuremark's 3DMark05. Any suggestions?"

Lessee -- right now you have nothing, your goal is to clone an existing, highly specific product and you want to know how to be as big as Linux? My advice is to calm down, write some code, and if you have a good project (and you obviously have a flair for self-promotion) the developers will join.
Right now, you have delusions of grandeur of Eric Raymond proportions, and even he mostly just gets ridiculed for it nowadays.

Really all I think Linus used is USENET, mailing lists, etc (A bit of luck dosn't hurt, too).

Wonder what the public key field is for?
