Security LinkUp Dev Team - Join Now (Please)
Security LinkUp is a brand new open source (MIT License) and totally free application to manage face-to-face security meetings written in ASP.NET (C#). We pushed out the first beta a week or so ago and I am now looking for developers interested in forming an open source team to rapidly make it a really good application. It has a way to go! We need coders, QA and everything in between including a system admin / community manager.
I can’t pay you as I am determined to keep it free and open source with no advertising but I will promise to buy you beer if we meet and promise you’ll have fun working with some cool people. If you run or attend security meetings then you can also get involved in designing and developing something that will make your life better. Am I selling it hard enough yet?
It’s currently a beta 0.2 build which means its full of bugs and only has a basic feature set but this weekend a few folks plan iron out some of those issues. Call it a virtual codecamp if you will!
There are some great folks already involved including Mike de Liberro (who does a lot of OWASP work) and Andreas Fuchsberger. A big thank-you goes out to Mike A for writing the community admin code and chapters admin code (and fixing bugs galore) which should also get deployed this weekend.
But we want and need more. We need you!
So how do you participate and join? Sign up at CodePlex for an account, send me your username by email so I can add you to the project and participate in the dicussions and issue tracker. Code will move from a zip file to using a SCM client this weekend so you can check it in and out. Come on, what do you have to loose?
