STRICKLY OPEN SOURCE FORUM

all well said and done. where are the vibes in software technology? where are programmers who have the passion in information technology? where are those who can be bold enough to present issues about code optimization? who are those who see software above the coding level and wonder what implication can be found in a code after a given time? such are what we need to make Nigeria giant of the world in terms of software technology and not in terms of football. we need hands who have ideas and ready to code it out. Nigeria is about to rule. some one bet me. watch out there are world class projects that are eminent from this country. Nairalanders stay connected and watch out for the explosion. i have been busy in the african open source forum: www.afrobyters.com

if you are thinking of switching to linux, i mean if you want to be a real computer geek. lets tune up to the open source philosophy in order to move africa forward. we now have a meeting place at
www.afrobyters.com
this is a forum for african geeks. thank God at last. Use Linux today and be a computer geek. for us open source is a way of life. you can learn about open source in this forum and if you choose to use any of the linux distribution then you can post question on any distribution that you want to use.

hey men at last we have an african open source forum. www.afrobyters.com
lets use this forum for problems relating to open source and other programming stuffs. men lets sure the white guys that ubuntu is from africa and so there are many afro byters in Nigeria.


www.afrobyters.com is the bomb for open source men

so guys what are we upto do we gat open source guys in Nigeria?

hi guys it seems we have a lot of open source guys in Nigeria but the question is how many of them can sit down and compose a bug free c code? what is the perspective of open source philosophy to the african nations. To me i see it as a challenge for the africans to embrace free and open source codes in order to move foward technologically. Enough of that how many guys are ready to work with me? Lets make ourselves available when my mirror site is ready i want to see contributions from my country men this time around. Pls lets move to the challenge, lets speak to the computer to move our country forward. well i think we will soon migrate from nairaland for our open source forum in a week. so guys i will post the site to you soon.

hi programmers?
for all the open source guys dont you think we need to start up something? i am creating a mirror for our projects to commence soon and after the site is ready we are suppose to have a seminar to lunch the advent of open source technology in Nigeria and to invite dignitories to witness that day.
on that day i propose having a lot of discussions and projects to be started for the Nigerian sake. i will get u posted soon but lets have your opinions. i mean the REAL and REAL open source guys. pls if you claim to be one pls you are counted out.

what you have to do is that when you make your image in corel draw export the image and save it with jpeg file format. Next you now go back to visual basic and change the strech property of the image control to true (this allows the control to adjust its size to the size of the picture. now go to the picture property of the image control and a dialog box will be given to you search for the picture and click on Ok button of the dialog box.

Kobojunkie,
i think you've got serious people enough. what have you got? if you are ready then i think we need to xchange emails to commemorate on the project. i think we have got enough good guys in this place that can handle anything you think of. lets know what you've gat man.

well i am happy with you guys but i just threw suggestion in to the house notwithstanding how do we start? lets discuss that. lets build a mirror like sourceforge a kind of all nigeria open source downloads. you guys will have to be patient with me i am a student and my exams is comming up soon so i am up with theories after which we will have time to talk more. am sorry guys i will be thru by 3rd december. so lets discuss on how to go further.

IG, the university of jos programmers are working on a linux campus distribution by the open source community by God's grace we shall release the mirror for other programmers to contribute to the project. recently we had the open source guys from ecwa computers jos who also showed interest in the project.

hi ama,
hope to get you in naira. the UJGEEKS members are on a serious project. hope to have you back after your service.

The 2007 september 15 software freedom day witness a hit in the university of jos that one may wonder a gigantic project that mere guys from this institution can come up with. they called this "UJNUX" a linux campus distribution for their institution. This witness the advent of three people (students) who are the future Richard Stallman, Linus torvalds and Eric Raymond of africa.
This guys who said they have been hacking the linux kernel for long said they have a hope of bringing the silicon valley of africa to Nigeria. These guys are open source phylosopher who are doing fine in various fields on discipline. you can see this on:

http://geeks.unijos.edu.ng

Well we are moving forward in Nigeria gradually.
bet me. Jos will launch the silicon valley of this country.sure bet. all sort of programmers are housed in this town.
any question should be forwarded and comments. bye. well the UJNUX is still in progress yet to be finished but has been lunched. Do we have nigerians that can help with there c codes on this project. lets know in order to create a mirror for this project.

hi, i can help in tutoring you but i live in the city of jos. how can we do that? do we communicate over the net for the tutoring or how?
my email is:

well as a software developer i am facing the problems you guys have discussed so far but i dont think there is any need for relentness. we can collaborate(i mean the nigerian programmers) to embark on collaborative projects which will move the country forward. any programmer out there willing for such effort can spring up something. where are we and where is the way forward? everyone is after the money and all nigerian programmers have gone to the web eventhough it is the fact that we are in the web era but what happens to securities, game industries,service oriented applications,operating system design, compiler design, data mining,complex algorithms. we seems to be satisfied with the change(money) we get from developing sites and nothing more, we seems to leave reading for medical people not knowing that programming requires more of that, since change is the only constant in the programming world we need to move with change. i must tell you many classical visual basic programmers have found it difficult to migrate to vb.net  reason they dont want to change. lets have a change of mind and orientation. the writter is a KERNEL HACKER, an OPEN SOURCE PHILOSOPHER, a CODE POET, a GAME DEVELOPER with the directx technology, a SERVER/CLIENT developer base in the city of JOS. my best operating system is the DEBIAN LINUX DISTRO and best programming language is the native C language. we can do more than that and lets do just that. Nigeria will lead in IT. sure bet.

AhmedGuru, you have really impress me with your response to this future programmer. Class or no Class we are more interesting in your script. the better guys are classless people. Third class is good for certificate but you must make first class in your personality. Programming is an art, it makes you create your own world. be ready to read more than you did in industrial chemistry. i hope ahmedguru has convinced you a lot?

Be prepare to meet question about normalization and relationship and expect and practical question on how to apply these concepts of relational database.

hey,
visual basic is a RAD(Rapid Application Development) application. it requires a very good understanding of basic as a programming language. since visual basic is an event driven application it can not be discussed on this forum since it implies a whole project. however you can start the project then programmers can help you on some modules(procedures). this is of course the way to do it. however if you insist getting a complete project that computes the cummulative grade point. then you can reach me on daseronline@yahoo.com.sg. but this is not important you can do it yourself.
bye

if you are going into gaming, there are some technologies i will advice you to go into. you need the DirectX SDK which is found in www.microsoft.com/directx. this technology is great since most people use microsoft windows. on the other hand if you want a general platform games you will need to use OpenGl which runs on both linux and windows.
The knowledge of the following will give you an edge in designing a powerful game.
Artificial intelligence dont you ever use Deterministic algorithm
aritifical neural networks
spritting and tilling
virtual reality
and lots more.

i want someone out there to tell me where we are right now in software technology. are we like indian or canada?or like chad. lets discuss the way forward in software technology.

wonder shall never end. you need skillfull programmer and you want certification and must be a graduate. maybe you should consider because the best guys out there do not posses your requirement. Or you want to be like e-transact that will require the age of 33 and above?

HEY MEN FELLOW NIGERIANS. I think you can change nigeria even by not getting the compiler yourself maybe tru another means, politics or business. My friend if you are serious about what you want to do, then you must learn to do stuff yourself most especially from the base. remember "knowledge is like a pyramid, to build you need a solid foundation.

Bioye is fine, and i hope he will go places but is there any need "reinventing the wheel"? i think something else should be thought of, not google and facebook. i mean a new concept in this case
