Hi Aggelos! First: count me in! I am a freelance developer, seeking anything i can get about/with or within osgi related technology. I dereived most of my experience with osgi contributing at the osgi centric ops4j.org community (which is a good place to stay for such projects you mentioned btw - not advertising ;-)
anyway - last but not least: i am a student, too. For specific projects: there are some ideas/topics in my head (and lurking at various sandboxes at the community mentioned above) .. none of them are really ideal for starter projects but here are some themes: [BUILD-SYSTEM] a better - maven-less(!!) - build-system for osgi --> this is a large topic but burning on my nails (not just mine i think (i think peter kriens has a nice conclusion on this on some ML) [OBR] extend the OBR idea to the next level. --> get rid of proprietary xml-formats and go for RDF as standard repository format --> create a more rich-featured user-layer for OBR (maybe a real web2.0 app written on top of the osgi service layer) --> marketplace for bundles Another direction would be: --> implement a R4 compendium section which is poorly implemented or not implemented at all. Yet another direction: there are many more OpenSource projects related to osgi looking for manpower! (ops4j.org is one place i know best - but apache felix rises at least one new sub-project as far as i know these days which could be a joinpoint too) Just a few ideas out of my head - other things are to come, wdyt ? kind regards, Toni Menzel --- Toni Menzel [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ops4j.org blog: http://tonitcom.blogspot.com / http://osgify.com -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Thu, 09 Aug 2007 21:25:34 +0300 Von: Aggelos Mpimpoudis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: OSGi Developer Mail List <[email protected]> Betreff: [osgi-dev] [Students]Call for OSGi-Based projects > Hello Community, > > This mail is addressed to students who are somehow experienced (on > basics or more advanced) on OSGi and want to elevate their knowledge on > it.
