I'm actually currently starting to look for a co-contributor or two, there is so much that I want to get done, and having an extra set of eyes and hands would be great.

I am working on a framework/concept called ghostream (https://ghostream.com / https://github.com/ghostream/ghostream)

ghostream is a stream processing framework, built in C++ - it is a data stream processing framework. Having used numerous commercial ones (most notably IBM's Streams), and building various other part-frameworks (i.e. for time and budget reasons focussed on one particular thing) I has an itch to build an open source one (while storm and samza are definitely related, I feel they fall into a slightly different category - I'm all about the streams :) )

It is still in very active development - but the base is solidified now and the new test framework is starting to shape up nicely. There are a whole list of issues on github + a roadmap waiting to be exploited.

I have already started dog-fooding it in my other personal projects - the most visual of which can be seen here: http://jamielewis.me.uk/posts/2013-11-03-Mapping-Earthquakes...

If this strikes your interest give me a shout: jamie@ghostream.com.

Tudat: A modular, generic, robust astrodynamics toolbox http://tudat.tudelft.nl This project has been my life for the last 4 years. Was fed up with the fact that no one was collaborating within my research group in terms of software, so decided to set this up at the beginning of my PhD. Learned a lot of C++ along the way (and a whole lot more still to learn!). If you're interested in getting involved, feel free to si…

If this was integrated with Kerbal Space Program my life would be complete

That's sounds like an interesting hack! Do you mean hacking the physics engine for KSP?

Hi guys, We've actually build a site you can use to post your projects to attract contributors who can pick up a task for you, join your team, spread word, provide feedback, become beta users or advisors, etc. It works like a GitHub for non-hackers minus the code (since you can use github for the code). The site is used mostly by top universities, hackathons, and some YC and HN members. Here is the link if you think…

Nice idea. You have to work on your github connection though. I logged in finally through first making a github connection, then it said my email address was already taken, so I got it to work through a password reset. Just so you know!

I recently open-sourced my web-based vector app Mondrian. https://github.com/artursapek/mondrian It's a fun project to hack on for anyone interested in math, geometry, SVG, or web apps. You can try it live at http://mondrian.io . My email is in my HN profile if there are any questions.

Yo Artur, it's Dan (from Hearo way back when). I just happened to be reading these comments, cool to run into you on HN. Mondrian is looking great.

Oy, thanks man. Hope you're doing well

Myself and a buddy are creating http://sidekicks.io, a platform which allows developers and designers to work with each other on various projects, and in return they gain "karma" to use for work on their own projects that need contributors.

We are accepting sign-ups now and have been able to get some great interest. We will launch the full platform in a few weeks.

Some of our early sign-ups have asked to help build the platform, so they are helping us build it.

If you are interested in contributing let me know!
