Submission + - ReactOS now comes with community edition (reactos.org)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: ReactOS aims to create a complete opensource version of Windows. That it works at all is amazing, that it works good is nothing short of a miracle. Not only pushing the boundaries of engineering, ReactOS is also looking to push opensource. Now also people that can't program can help with the ReactOS community. If you want to help out, they've got an indie gogo campaign https://www.indiegogo.com/proj...

BorisSkratchunkov writes: The ReactOS project has announced a more community-driven development approach with the launch of an IndieGoGo campaign in which contributors can push for support for specific hardware and apps. Furthermore, they have announced the impending release of ReactOS 0.4, which contains (among other improvements) USB support for the first time ever, as well as a new explorer. With the recent retirement of Windows XP and the foibles of Windows 8, it is encouraging to see that the Windows platform might not be entirely dependent on Microsoft in the future.

Submission + - ReactOS project starts it own Summer of code internship and hires developers (reactos.org)

Submitted by jeditobe
jeditobe writes: The ReactOS Project is seeking qualified individuals to fill paid developer positions. Contracted full time, part time, and internship level positions are all available.

Interested developers and students should submit a CV and academic transcript as applicable to jobs@reactos.org along with a cover letter indicating which position is being applied for and why you feel you are suited for the position.

For any position, you will need to be proficient in C with C++ proficiency being a major plus. C++ proficiency does not equate C proficiency so do not assume you have the latter if you have the former.

Formalities aside, you do need to prove yourself above and beyond the minimum requirements if you want to be considered for a position. Basically the project will require a demonstration that you know what you're doing. Having accepted patches would be a big plus in your favor, since it shows that you've at least figured out how to compile and test an operating system.
If you do qualify for a position, you'll be joining the very small and exclusive ranks of people who know how to do NT systems development. And believe us, those ranks are very, very small. And yes, you do need to be that good if you want to join those ranks.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact us at jobs@reactos.org and we'll get back to you as quickly as possible.
