Hi,
I've been a professional .Net Developer (C#) for 4 years now and have recently been having some free time on my hands. I've been using this over the previous 3 months picking up Haskell and F# but am now looking to start working on an open source .Net project.
The last oss I contributed to died a couple of years back. This time around I am looking to contribute to a more stable project which has a decent enough userbase. I would like to start by giving it an hour a day and slowly getting morre involved with its community.
Joining an established project, the likes of nHiberate/RhinoMocks seems great, but I may well be out of my league there. I've been looking at orchard, having used it for one of our clients as something I would like to contribute to but knowing what happened with Oxite I am not too sure.
Given that I am comfortable with:
C#, ASP.Net, ASP.Net MVC, WPF,JQuery, Relational Databases, and the MS Stack
..and have been using:
MOQ, Rhino Mocks, nHibernate, Castle, etc, etc for years now
...and have worked on but don't like:
WPF, Silverlight, SharePoint, Documentum
Are there any projects out there which have a large user base & an active community of developers which you would suggest? I am looking to start contributing slowly but have a long relationship with the project. CMSes are something I have always wanted to contribute on. Any .Net CMSes out there which accept contributions you would suggest?
Thanks
