Hello,
My name is Brian and I'm the founder of http://dreamer.me. We're a non-profit search engine - money from our search results go to various charities and causes as chosen by our users. In 2009 Google made a profit of over $4Billion mostly because they were the market for internet advertising. Our goal is to create a open source and non-profit alternative to google and instead of spending our money trying to build a better iphone, we will be using it to solve the real problems of the world (the environment,health, hunger, and education)
Since we use jboss as our webserver I thought this would be a good place to start looking for some help
I have a few questions
- How does one start a open source project?
- More importantly, is there anyone you know who would like to be involved?
- Is there anyone you know who would like to LEAD the project (and would be capable of doing so)?
(http://dreamer.me is already up and running, we use Yahoo BOSS to generate our search results, it was developed with JAVA servlets/jsp, MySQL, JBOSS, and jQuery)
If you'd like to email me directly I can be reached at brian@dreamer.me
