Warewolf-ESBon Ask HN: OS projects looking for contributors?

Hi Alex We need your help! Check out Warewolf Easy Service Bus - Primarily written in C# - https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB

We got tired of complex and intricate ESBs, so we're building one that is easy to learn and simple to use. It's a big breakthrough.

Would love to hear any of your feedback - good and bad!

Please be in touch directly or via http://community.warewolf.io

Warewolf-ESBon Show HN: Finish your social sharing for the week in 2 mins

I've just tried again and the same thing happened - I scheduled about 8 or 9 posts. Then I clicked on "Your Queue" and only 1 post was in the queue, and the rest had been lost.

Warewolf-ESBon Ask HN: Bored at my dev job. Don't know what to do

A lot of people feel this way, especially when they are developing on legacy systems or doing standard line of business apps.

I would suggest finding an open source project you are passionate about. There are some really cool open source software applications popping up that need passionate developers like you to get involved.

That's how you make an impact - get involved and do something that benefits the community, and that you can be proud to have put your name on!

It might not help so much with your day job, but it will certainly open up new opportunities for you, improve your skills and look great on your CV. Plus it's a lot of fun!

Do a search in GitHub, or if you program in C# come take a look at what we're doing (yes, you can change the world!): https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB

Sure it's @warewolf_io I cancelled what was left and instead scheduled them through hootsuite. Down the line it would be really great if you integrated with apps like hootsuite or buffer. thanks

This is really nice! We signed up and started scheduling tweets. BUT, I had 10 in the queue but some bug seems to have deleted 6 of them. I couldn't search the same keywords again either as everything I removed was removed permanently. I really like this idea, but needs a bit of polishing. Also it would be nice to have some sort of contact/feedback/support from within the application. Great idea.

Warewolf-ESBon Ask HN: What to do?

Work on open source projects to at least get your name out there and add some value. You can at least expand your portfolio and gain skills in the meantime. Good luck

Warewolf-ESBon Ask HN: I have 3 months severance. Seeking advice preparing for a dev job. Help?

Get involved with an open source project! You can showcase your work and skills on your cv, plus it shows a level of passion. GitHub is a good place to start. Good luck!

Warewolf-ESBon Ask HN: Where can I start contributing to open source efforts?

Come check out Warewolf ESB - https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB

It's recently become open source so now is a good time to get in early and stick your name on it. It's .Net based, so a little bit of polishing up will need to happen.

Looking forward to your contribution :)

Warewolf-ESBon Ask HN: How do I start contributing to open source projects?

Good open source projects should have documentation for you to help you get started. Like the other posts, there are many ways you can contribute, and every little bit does help.

As far as I know, no one will be standing over you expecting you to finish anything, unless you made some kind of agreement to start.

I would suggest finding something you enjoy and just start. When you are ready to submit your changes be ready for great feedback and a ton of learning. You will be working with some really passionate, skilled guys so there will undoubtedly be a big, but rewarding, learning curve.

Our project is .Net based, so not really a fit for your skills, but feel free to check it out or share with your friends: https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB

Good luck, and most of all, have fun!

This is exactly the point! We're also tired of the complicated, messy service buses our team has worked with. That's why we're going after making it simple, easy to work with and valuable to any developer or business.

It's a good point!

We wrote a blog post on a similar thing: http://warewolf.io/ESB-blog/6-reasons-take-software-open-sou...

All in all, we like the open source approach - it's a great win all round and seems to be the future of tech.
