I've started a site and I am looking for people who wanna help. Right now I'm trying to fill staff positions, Its a non-commercial site and the only money you would make would be from cheerful givers wanting to donate. The basic framework is in place, and alot of the content is already in place.
We currently need Forum Administrators, Web Developers familiar with PHP, CSS, XHTML, JS, MediaWiki, phpBB, and any other skills you have would be a plus. Graphic Designers just message me some artwork I believe we have Mortem Tuam helping he created the header for the site and it looks pretty good. Writers - You can write about whatever you want as long as its within the scope of the websites given subject area. I know pay's lousy lol, but if your interested either post here, message me, or email me.

Moderators, please feel free to move this to another forum if it doesn't fit here.
There are currently no Usenet groups for Android software or supported trans-coded video files. There are advantages to hosting these files on Usenet, rather than on this, or other websites. Please PM me if you would like to hear my opinion. I will not discuss this openly.
I would like to propose one be created, but actual new group additions to Usenet are a pain in the rear and require a community backing.
Is anyone else here familiar with the process?
I have never added a group myself, but I have worked for a Usenet provider and know that it is not a simple process. It would require a proposal in the alt.control newsgroup, as well as a discussion and justification of the group between supporters and the ISC (www.isc.org). For this, we need people to speak up and support our group in the alt.control newsgroup.
Notice how I say OUR group. I propose the group be un-moderated, because suggesting a moderated group requires a lot more organization, time, and discussion before the ISC will consider the addition.
Again, if anyone has actually undergone the addition of a new group, please speak up. If no one has, but people are interested, I will try to work with Usenet assistance groups on getting a group added.
Thoughts?
I'd be surprised if a quarter of this forum knows what a newsgroup is.

Ahh, well if there is not a community interest, I won't pursue it. In my opinion, the brightest people use this site, so I'm only posting here.
I guess then, I am one of the 25%. I gave up on usenet years ago when the content to spam ratio got too bad.
I still grin when I think of alt.barney.die.die.die
I guess it all depends on what exactly the OP wants out of a newsgroup. These days most interest groups / communities on the internet form around http-based services like forums and bulletin boards. There are also hybrid http/email mailing list type things. Generally the whole of the Android community is well served by these tools already. Between the various fansites (phandroid, androidguys, etc), the Google android-discuss groups, xda-dev, and #[email protected], I think there are plenty of points on the internet as-is for all comers alike.
Of course, then theres the modern-day usage of usenet, which is not so much discussion-centric rather than a no-holds-barred haven for digital piracy and pretty much every kind of porn under the sky.
Hello,
My name is Lancey David. Im the senior designer for G.G.G. (GoGetGadget.com). Our team are currently creating a technology news site similar to Slashgear.com and Gizmodo.com and looking for people who may be interested in joining our team. We are currently in development stage and looking for people who may be interested in joining a community and or help post news and or find information out on the web about new developments in the technology world. If interested reply, or message me.
Hello Lancey!
I'm a web design student. If you need any kind of help, feel free to email me. I'd be particularly interested in writing technology tips and tutorials (like I already do on my own blog).
Also, you should put a theme on that blog. Start with something free and buy a unique one whenever you make money from it.
hey,
the blog in which you see now is only temp. Matter of fact we are not touching that specific template at all. its just there for technical use. I will be emailing you tho, thanks!
Hi all!
I´m a moderate user of a X10 Mini but a devoted Androidfan and writer for the Swedish newsblog/reviewcenter Swedroid.se.
Our readers are very interested in your brilliant work to fastforward the development of non-Vanilla handsets as you solve our problems with speed and accuracy. The forum discussions are largely modification-focused where you play a vital role.
As for myself I usually write about trends and interesting events on a pretty large scale, one of my latest articles was summing up the (western) mobile industry for 2011.
But, to the point here. I´d very much like to conduct an "Inside XDA"-interview with any and all developers here willing to answer a few questions. Partly because you DO deserve some spotlight and partly for my personal interest for programming
However, the really nice thing with such an article would be to serve as a "meet the fans"-event and a look inside the exciting world of xda-developers! We could for example announce the time for the article to be published so that you may answer questions in the comments right away
You may choose how to be presented in the article, full name with a pic or anonomous - it´s up to you.
So, if you feel like sharing your developer-life with our growing readerbase, please PM me!
Welcome to forums
How about giving your readers the link to our Portal, over there you can find nice interviews with Chefs and Developers.
Thank you for the tip, but I can´t seem to find any interviews, been looking here: http://www.xda-developers.com/category/android/
Also, I´d like to conduct this interview with the perspective of "Average Joe" if possible, meeting the persons and their interest for solving problems rather than discussing these subjects from a more technical standpoint.
I can add that I despise the tabloid-media so the interview will be both balanced and "down to earth" meaning I wont bend it in order to attract maximum attention or provoking maximum debate - the developers and their passion for programming itself will do that just fine.
Our readers expect a high standard language and professional content, and I´d love to give them xda
Hi Everyone,
I recently created a website with a couple of XDA members, and were growing in views fairly fast. However we literally cannot keep up with the content we need to publish in order to be competitive.
So were looking for new staff.
We need:
Writers, if your good at English and can write fluently and professionally why not get into Article writing and gain some popularity across the internet.
Site Designer: I can design a website, but I would like someone with a little more knowledge than me to converse with, also if they want to the Site Designer can also write articles (if they desire)
Social Media Promoters: If your up for getting into a new team and are a Social Guru, get involved and help us grow our social following.
Payments can be discussed depending on work rate.
Sorry, but there's a recruitment section and this isn't it
Hey guys!
My name is Tobias Gawrisch and I'm a student of social science / sociology at Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany. I'm now starting with my master thesis and for that I want to do some research about what motivates programmers to work on open source software and other free software projects. Most people studying economics will say that money is the driving motivator in our economy but I think that especially the open source community is a fine example of people being motivated to work without the prospect of earning a lot of money with their work. This hypothesis is the basis for a short Web Survey in order to get some first hand data about the reason why programmers are "working for free". It will take about 10 min. max. and is, of course, completely anonymous. And I'll be glad to provide all my outcomes afterwards.
I would really appreciate your help in this matter, this would boost my master thesis a lot!
Here is the link to the survey: www (dot) soscisurvey (dot) de (slash) codesharingmotivation (I'm sorry but as a new user I'm apparently not allowed to post links. This post has permission from the Administrators, so maybe a moderator could alter this link to be clickable?)
This is an open survey, so please feel free to share it with everyone you see fit. I need as many participants as possible to get valid data.
I took the liberty to ask up front if it would be OK to post such a survey in this forum and received permission for that after using the contact form from the Administrators. This is a solely academic survey.
Regards,
Tobias Gawrisch
Just wanted to have a short shout out to everyone, half of the time for my survey has passed and I really need more participants, so please take part in this survey and pass it on to everyone you see fit! You would really help me out!
Regards,
Tobias
