Hello fellow Linux users, An idea popped into my head tonight and I want to do something with it rightaway. So let me explain.
I'm relatively new to Linux and I got my LM 8.1 distro running for a couple of weeks now very smoothly (most of the times). I visited a lot of Linux related websites and it impressed me to see how many ways there must be to develop really cool open source software. At this point I'm particulary interested in learning the skills to built a dynamic website with underlying database technology. Only it seems I have 2 "problems". I'm not so creative in coming up with a topic and I don't want to spend the whole year figuring out MySQL, PHP etc.. on my own locked away behind my desk. So here's the idea. There must be more people with the same ambitions, so why don't we try to come up with ideas to make this work as a group. We could build a website about making OUR website (this tackles the topic problem), so everybody (including ourselves) can see how we did it and learn from it. Off course we would make use of open source software. I'm an Oracle programmer myself and I don't have any experience in building something the open source way, so who is joining in? I hope that also the more experienced persons care to join in and let others profit from your experience. We need to come up with some sort of structure to do this, get a server to which the group can have access I suppose and what more..? Well, surprise me. Oh yeah, I live in Haarlem, the Netherlands.
