My name is Sam and I’m a software developer from Atlanta, GA USA. I have been involved in a number of co-ops in the past and have two co-ops of my own that I’ve been trying (unsuccessfully) to start for a number of years.
I am also heavily involved in open source and open standards development (with the XMPP Standards Foundation and, to a lesser extent, the IETF). I’m looking forward to Snowdrift both for its utility to open source projects and for its use in helping the co-op economy.
I’m looking forward to helping in any way that I can.
Well, co-op founding and software development are two ways it sounds like worth exploring among others. What sort of development do you have experience with? Front-end, back-end, what frameworks?
In addition to the forum, we have regular discussion on Matrix/IRC.
My career has been entirely in backend development, mostly vaguely web or realtime communication focused. I’m afraid to say that I don’t do any Haskell though, so I won’t be much use to snowdrift on that front.
I don’t hang out on IRC as often as I used to, but I’ll definitely try to pop in on occasion. And thanks for the link, I’ll read over it!
