I want to PAY SOMEBODY to port the Mono Runtime to Tizen. Could that person be YOU? If so, please contact me.
I have been asked what qualifications I am looking for.
Requirements
• Must not be employed by Xamarin. I don’t want any conflicts of interest.
• Must have extensive experience with C and C++, including at a relatively low level
• Must have a decent level of experience with C#, though that is less important for this specific task
• Must be enthusiastic about working on this project
• Must be able to commit to spending time on the project
Major “pros”
• Proven Github track-record of contributions on the Mono Runtime, or to other parts of Mono
• Experience with Tizen
• Experience with Linux, Android or Mac OS X
• Experience with developing any other VM or low-level platform components which are similar in nature to Mono
Last night I forked Mono in Github. Search for Kitsilano Software in Github and you will find the repositories.
You would just be working in the open there, and submitting pull requests back to the Mono mainline, until we have working Tizen support in Mono.
Cheers,
Bob Summerwill, Kitsilano Software
