I'm working on an Open Monster Project, based on the game mechanics of Pokemon, Final Fantasy, and others - but fully opensource, fan created, and IP nightmare free!
I've worked on Pokemon Game implementations, algorithms, and have implemented it dozens of times, and feel like it's time we create a regulated system to allow others to build games from scratch with the least amount of friction possible.
If you are into autonomous sailboats, robotics, rust, or combinations thereof, let me know :)
1. www.webminal.org 10+ year old side project. I tried to make it monetized without much success. Now I got sponsors for server. That covers financial burden to keep servers running. I'm primarily looking for front-end dev to improve this project.
2. If you are interested in python and automation: https://gitlab.com/giis/distroQA/ This project, it does OS image testing with Docker containers.
3. If you interested in Android app development: In 2016, I developed some Rooted(TWRP) Android apps. Seems like they removed from playstore now. I think these apps can be revived and uploaded to F-Droid.org Some references here:
spacemachine -> Use SDcard as your internal storage to install and run apps. Insert SDcard into any mobile and run apps stored in SDcard http://www.giis.co.in/spacemachine_userguide.pdf Parted4Android -> Port of GNU-parted app with an interesting UI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtHSiNQ-9z4 Link2Cloud -> Runs apps directly from Cloud. Uses sshfs and mount cloud account to user mobile. Uses firebase. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpmVVDBpsCE
4. Btrfs CI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdLx4asGUME Tests BTRFS filesystem with kernel and update results on Github.
5. Finally any PR contributions to https://github.com/Lakshmipathi/dduper
I happy to discuss quite a few ideas on improving these project with you and Other than these, I do have few other FOSS project: Please have a look at http://giis.co.in/Lakshmipathi.G_md.html If you like to collaborate with me on any of these project, please feel to drop a message (see email on my profile). Thanks!
I currently work for a startup program in Washington state and it's my third program. One of the biggest challenges we have (that I am sure is not unique to our program) is that we have a large community of mentors as well as founders and when we want to connect our mentors and founders together it takes a manual email introduction. I've also put together an Airtable where founders can connect with our mentors, but a…
Hey looks like something that I am planning on building. Is there an email I can reach out to?

Would https://covalent.live/ do the trick?

> Make computers that easier to understand This piqued my interest. I've talked with some older people who had computers in their home during childhood and they told me about tinkering with them and so on. Those were of course much simpler machined than we have today, and I ended up feeling like they had a more intimate relationship with the computer than their younger counterparts. How are you planning to accomplish…
That's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. > How are you planning to accomplish that? Thanks for asking. Two major ways: on the hardware side I want to use small and simple systems. The raspberry pi is a little more complex than what I want. On the software side I have a simple GUI and macro language that is easy to learn and much much simpler and more elegant than current conventional UIs.

If you'd like to build a fully understandable computer, you might be interested in concatenative languages like Forth, Factor, and colorForth. These use a much simpler and more understandable, typically stack-based computational model that run on microcontrollers like STM32. You can create more complex words by composing together simple assembly-language-like atoms and building higher and higher layers of abstraction.

A good starting point or source of inspiration might be the Smalltalk and Lisp Machines from the past.

You might also be interested in this blog from a guy who is trying to build his own OS from scratch and run it on an FPGA: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=55 Some of his earlier writings about Symbolics Open Genera and Lisp machines are also quite interesting and might be a good source of ideas and principles: http://www.loper-os.org/?cat=8&paged=5

How would you pass the capability off to an external program? I'm hopeful that if the user could us a powerbox outside of a programs control to select the token/capability/file handle to pass to a program, then the system would be immune to the problems of ambient authority.
System wide capabilities is an interesting concept - I'd love to see it implemented. I'm not sure if it meaningfully fits into a programming language though - it seems like an operating system concept. But I might be mistaken? Firefly currently only uses capabilities for security within a single program, which I think is also a big issue in software development today, the Log4j fiasco being a recent example.
I have a sort of constellation of projects that fit together into an overarching project, and I'd love to have some other people interested or even collaborating on it. The goals are: - Make computers that easier to understand and use (than current systems.) - Make large flying machines to enable cheap and efficient mass transport of people and materials. (Like huge, kilometer-scale kite/blimps.) - Collect and recycl…
You might be interested in ground-effect vehicles which would be much faster than ships, yet still cheaper as well as more energy-efficient than conventional aircraft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-effect_vehicle
There are some startups working in this area like the Flying Ship Company: https://flyingship.co/
> Collect and recycle the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (and the other ocean gyres.)
An easier approach might be to bioengineer bacteria to eat plastic: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/dec/14/bugs-acr...
But this might have unintended side-effects.
If anyone is willing to collaborate on these or other projects, please let me know (my email address is on my profile)! Following are some of the projects on my list (I realize many are ambitious):
* Personalized finance management - finding financial products for my specific financial situation. Goal is to potentially create a platform that allows me to discover and "install" financial products on my accounts. There's too many fintech companies out there and there's no way that I know of that allows me to discover/try them with minimal work and risk. An app store of sorts would be very interesting to build for this.
* Pet EMR/prescriptions - Every time my vet gives me a prescription and I want to order it online, I have to wait for the eCommerce site to "confirm" the prescription with the vet. If there was a central place to coordinate this information, it could be beneficial to vets and eCommerce sites.
* Creator tools with native NFT minting abilities - Mostly to learn blockchain
* Site to find study partners/groups for taking MOOC courses together - I find I am more committed when there are others I'm accountable to as well
* Crowdfunded, open-sourced Buy-Now-Pay-Later solution - Unsure about the regulations around this, but thought it would be an interesting project to learn risk modeling and have potential virtuous cycles because investors would be inherently incentivized to advocate / evangelize the platform. Also, BNPL platforms tend to skirt the credit score, so open sourcing it would appease regulators. It could also provide a way for companies to white label and start their own BNPL programs.
* Creating a more contextual Google Places / Yelp that enables relevant place discovery
