How to Go About Team Building?

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?"

How about something more exciting than a clone of something comercial. Nothing attracts good developers better than a good project. Try "A better, more applicable, less biased, multi platform benchmark."

USENET.

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

let's count up the score

• vaporware project
• placeholder homepage
• bizarre aspirations to be linus torvalds
• discounting a good answer for frivolous reasons
• crap question

result: another awesome ASK SLASHDOT. As they say in Enemy Territory:
v56

Agreed! Worst. Ask Slashdot. Ever!

Kevin Costner applies to Slashdot

Build it, and they will come.

Provided it doesn't suck tremendouns donkey balls.

I have a suggestion.

Actually, it's more of a request. CLEAN UP THE GODDAMN BASEMENT!!! I'VE ASKED YOU 100 TIMES!!!

Ten years ago an elite hacker unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These geeks promptly escaped the maximum security stockade and fled to the internet underground....Today, still wanted by the government and the RIAA, they survive as hackers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and you can find them, maybe you can hire.....THE GHEY TEAM.

I agree

Hmm... I went to the sourceforge site and now I have to revise my comments

Project LX is the codename for HWLogic.com's upcoming open source system benchmark. Project LX will be a highly compatible benchmark suite which will allow users to benchmark nearly every aspect of their system.

Development Status: 1 - Planning

Intended Audience: Advanced End Users, System Administrators

License: GNU General Public License (GPL)

Operating System: All 32-bit MS Windows (95/98/NT/2000/XP), All POSIX (Linux/BSD/UNIX-like OSes), Linux

Programming Language: C, Pascal

User Interface: OpenGL, Win32 (MS Windows), X Window System (X11)

You should spend some time lurking in various tech forums & review sites to get a full picture of 3DMark's limitations. (Just about every hardware site I've ever bothered to read has gone into each new iteration of 3DMark & looked at its flaws.

Mods, please don't smack me down for this, but the submitter might want to consider not making the entire package OSS. ATI & nVidia both have a history of "optimizating" drivers and if they have complete access to the program's source... well, I can't imagine they wouldn't use that to their max advantage.
