For All the Web Developers!
Posted: Wed Nov 26, 2008 11:50 pm
Hello everyone!
I am looking for a few people to join my web development team. My plan is to gather a few programmers and a couple of designers to create a web development team. We would begin by creating and contributing to a few open source projects to gather experience and learn how we work together as a team. After this, as a team we would take up some freelance work and do it for free (or very cheaply) to increase our reputation. Once we have established a good reputation and good team work, we can begin selling our service. Any money earned would be distributed accordingly to each team member on previously agreed terms.
As a team, each member is treated equally and has an equal say in the team. We will decide as a team what projects to work on and all decisions will be made as a team. We will have weekly meetings (over IRC or another protocol) to discuss the progress of our current project and our team outlook. At these weekly meetings, members will have a chance to voice their ideas and suggest projects for the team to take on. Along with the weekly meetings, each project will have its own meetings to discuss its progress. Not all the team members will work on the same project all the time, sometimes the team will be split between projects and some members may work on more than one project at a time. It all depends on you and the status of the project.
To keep the team in order, I will lead the team myself however the team's ultimate destiny is decided by its members. I have already thought of a few suggestions for the first project. One of which is an object-oriented PHP5 framework that implements the MVC design pattern.
I can't promise that you'll make lots of money. However, I can promise that you will take part in something great. You will contribute to the open source community and have your name on various projects. Working on a team you will learn new programming practices and methodologies expanding your experience. Any work you contribute you can always put into a portfolio for future job opportunities.
I am looking for 3-5 dedicated programmers to participate. You don't need to be a complete expert in any of these fields just have some experience and be competent. Everyone is welcome to apply even if you don't have experience in every one of these fields.
