Title: Developer recruiting
Post by: Pheonike on November 25, 2014, 10:08:00 pm

Saw this wanting to do some work for OpenBazaar so I through a Bitshares advert in the comments. Hopefully the Delegates systems peaks some interest.

There should be a developer recruitment incentive for anyone who can bring developers into the Bitshares community. If you refer a developer who contributes code you should be made into a delegate along with the developer as far as I'm concerned.

We need to set up this kind of referral program more than anything else right now.  The buddy system would work where the established member introduces the new developer to the community and gets credit for schooling them on how the community operates.

I agree... I know someone who is a comptetent dev and I can refer... but havent heard from BM regarding what work he can start on.

Once a process is put in place it will be way easier.

There are 1000 items that could be worked on.  This is a DAC so why are all decisions still going through BM?   There are countless issues on github.  Many of the people who are getting delegate positions showed up and started working on something so I would stop asking for tasking and take initiative.   

I thought that a POW version of BitShares was needed so I just started working on it.   Others should do the same.

What if @cass put a "We're Hiring" page on bitshares.org explaining how delegates work?

Would love to see a 'What is Bitshares' video version of delegates. We get that video in the hands of every high-end developer, artist, and marketer.

Don't hire. Instead ask for volunteers with the chance to become a paid delegate.
