< Open Source Meeting


Open source meeting - Thursday, 2pm PT.

Teleport to the Linden Open Source Project headquarters.

Please try to add your items as early as possible in the week to give Rob a chance to round up any Lindens that may be appropriate to the discussion. Please also bring items up on SLDev before or concurrently with adding them as agenda items here.

Agenda

  • Next item? Your name? (sign with "~~~~" which will be converted to your name + timestamp)

Default agenda (barring agenda above):

How do you feel about relative C++ noobs (*waves!*) jumping headfirst into the client source to explore it? Do you prefer that only people with years of prior C++ experience try to be involved with the open source project? ("Come back when you've actually used a multimap in a program!")
