Whoa! let me reign this coach back! I am one man, educated in the
Gallatin Valley with an MSEE. I am having trouble keeping my doors
open in case a client who happens to have cash needs my ability to
solve the problem. Talking about scientists of world caliber and
mathematicians having advanced formulas needing to be calculated is
not even in the stadium of where I was thinking about playing,
period.
There exists problems needing solutions to which I have the skill set,
but pairing these items is not something I have had success. I exist
and I realize their are others that are experiencing the same, with
slightly or wildly different skill sets. Alone I can get things done
and have for a small set of clients, but together, even world wide,
with the internet we could do much more. Let me provide one scenario
that might be a quick and easy idea. I have an account on GURU.com
which tries to pair work to workers, but I look like every other
individual on the sight, India, Canada, and Wherever, so why choose
me? Now if a collection of individuals got together and developed an
account it looks more like a firm many hands producing on the capital
someone spends to get the job done. That is actually the way it works
together we get the job done quick and capable. But that is one idea
among one individual, now put several individuals together and see
what we can get done. |

I am interested but this is very difficult. expecially doing it via the web.
How do you know the other people are competent ? How do you know
they can deliver ? How do I know you can do your part ?
It's possible but highly unlikely.

Some history ...
This has been attempted at OpenCOres.org. When I was still
contributing to OpenCores (some 10 years ago), I too had
this ideological view of a community of like minded people
who would attempt to solve various problems.

Yuup, you right Rudi.
Our job - FPGA - is to specific to work in large virtual teams.
Knowledge base is usenet I mean "comp.arch.fpga" and others.
There is www.odesk.com for freelancers, but no one want to trust
engineers somewhere, when the product of our job must be embeded in
specific hardware.
IMHO, there is no sense to create new websites, new forums etc.
But idea to create "open" database of people who have experience in our
profession is great.
It could be not nice for head hunters but, everyone can introduce how
and wherever he/she likes.

How would you make sure that every team member got his/her fair share
of the revenue?
How would licensing of necessary tools be made? What about lab
testing? Production and distribution of evaluation boards? How will
NDAs be handled?
I am a simple salaryman, but I see how big the bucks are in FPGA
programming. I would really like to have a piece of that cake, but it
is safer to stay in a paid job than taking the risk of self-employment
even though my FPGA coding make my company rich and prosperous. I
would join your team, but I would not give up my regular job and that
is going to limit me. I can't work on things that would be in direct
competition to my employer, all my code would be tainted, and sooner
or later I would face legal actions if I get too successful as a
contributor. I think your idea is good and even if others have failed
that is not a reason to not try to make it work.
Good luck and thumbs up,
