I'm looking for an entry-level software developer to work on a series of projects on a full-time basis. This would be a long-term engagement as an independent contractor.
I'm in the process of starting two businesses, one assembling and selling Linux-based computers to small resellers, and one to develop an educational simulation game targeting the home-school market. Some projects will be related to improving the usability of open-source software that will be bundled with the computers I sell, and others will be related to simulation game development.
The first project involves integration between OssimPlanet (http://www.ossim.org/OSSIM/ossimPlanet.html) and Delta3D (http://www.delta3d.org).
OssimPlanet is an open-source virtual globe, similar in many ways to Google Earth and NASA World Wind. Delta3D is an open-source game and simulation engine. OssimPlanet lacks physics, while Delta3D lacks terrain. OssimPlanet + Delta3D could provide an excellent base for a simulation game set in the real world. The projects have discussed integration to allow them to work together, but haven't done anything about it due to lack of resources and more urgent needs.
I'm looking for someone who is interested in taking on the necessary integration and can commit to at least 6 months. The work would be done as a series of projects. Payment would be on a per-project basis (based on deliverables), rather than hourly.
The following are required:
-Fluency in English. -Reliable broadband Internet access. -Ability to work without supervision. -Skill in C++.
Experience with OssimPlanet (http://www.ossim.org/OSSIM/ossimPlanet.html), Delta3D (http://www.delta3d.org), and Ubuntu Linux (http://www.ubuntu.com) would be helpful but is not required if you're willing to familiarize yourself with them on your own time. Experience contributing to an open-source project would also be very helpful but is not required.
Please email me if you would like more information.
