So who's in?


Recommended Posts

Didn't expect my login to work after being inactive for some many months... But glad I could come back! I had vouched to help with programming some custom apps for Shift last time, but no one moved forward with what we wanted to do... Hope its not a fuse again!

Anyways, I'm in...

Right here I go, I am in, I am a programmer of sorts. Would love to help out, I have mac and PC to also test them on. Various new and old Pcs and laptops.

I have not done much linux scripting or programming, but can pick it up fast and willing to learn.

Let me know.

I'm not too knowledgeable in the whole coding thing (I am starting to learn scripting at work, though). However, I have a Macbook and a (quad core) desktop, so I can help with testing in VMware, installs, and live cd's. I have a 2mb (upstream) connection and my ISP doesn't really care how much I upload, so if you go the route of torrents, again, I can seed for a while.

Also, I'm decent in photoshop, so if you need any help with graphics, give me a shout.

Nice...

I'm not presenting myself that much, let's just say I'm an ArchLinux user which likes to play with the system in my free time, and who like's to implement wicked things which sometimes finish being great stuff...

I know some bash scripting, know how to make PKGBUILDS and have made some LiveCD's before... so if there's anything you want help with, you may ask, or I can start making implementations of wicked stuff... anyways, just let me know if you neeed ANYTHING

I can help with building the livecd. I have made a lot of livecds in the past year based on archlinux.

I also have github to on the right of that page if you want to look at my scripts.

Excellent! Looks like we where not getting many replies for Programmers!

This is great news. I was first introduced in to Linux by RedHat. I never actually made a switch until Ubuntu 5-6.04?. I love Ubuntu but for a while now I've been testing different distros and I've been learning Arch for a while. I've re-installed Arch from scratch 6-7 times just so I could get the hang of it without going back to the Wiki.

I love arch and its speed and its idea. What I didn't like about arch was the lack of polish I liked in Ubuntu in terms of the Desktop Enviroment and small visual tweaks. I love the fact you get the packages as the developers originally made them but I loved some of the small tweaks to Ubuntu that helped usability. I hope Shift takes the awesome idea around Arch and gives it smoothness and ups the usability. I would no doubt become a new follower if that happens. I wish you all luck and I will continue to watch and download the new builds as they come out.

Well, this is actually easy to implent, simply by doing some patching.

For instance, KDEmod has some of this ptches, so we should be able to use it instead of manteining our own packages (I guess we should only use own packjages when it's extremely necessary.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
