Be a part of a successful Open Source software project

I’m in New Years Resolution Mode (NYRM) so I’m taking a look at the old things on my list at 43things.com, an excellent web site for tracking your goals. Okay, so it’s been a while and I still haven’t done this. I do have a few things in mind, and I did make some sorta related progress.

Now that I’ve been at my job a while (sole web dev) they don’t care what I use – just that it gets done. They’ve been happy with my little apps and now I can do things my way. That means linux server, so maybe I’ll lern ROR after all. Tee hee!! (and thus no Sharepoint – TFG)

I really like the Tracks project, an awesome GTD/productivity app and wish, wish, wish there were dependent tasks. I’m no ROR coder yet, but I’m going to invest some QT and help by providing some good docs for new/regular users and mocking up some gui ideas and whatever other helpful thing I’m able to do.

This still isn’t quite making my resolutions list because there’s so many other things, and making an attainable set of goals for 2007 is #1!

I want to do a Google mashup…I have an excellent idea and can do database stuff and gui stuff. If anyone out there has already worked with the google api and/or is a rails whiz and feels like playing around, lets team up!

Btw – I have the domain, it involves drinking and partying all over Seattle…what more can you ask for???
