Recently i started an opensource society in my college,Delhi College of Engineering(one of the best in India).I need ideas for it’s growth and i would need advise as to how this group can help wxPython(assuming most have little knowledge about it)
You can do lots of stuff in a programming group. Here are a few ideas:
-
Do some code sprinting (i.e. for practice, work on a group project, like creating your website with Django or TurboGears, create a wxPython calculator or FTP program or whatever)
-
Go through the current bugs for Python and have a “bug” day where your group works together to create patches for Python! Amazingly enough, there are super easy bugs as well as advanced stuff, so there should be a bug for most people to solve
-
Join one of the many Python projects and contribute to it
-
Free food usually brings people
-
Try to find some sponsors that will provide free stuff for door prizes or raffles. Local businesses and technical book companies are usually helpful (like O’Reilly and Apress).
As for wxPython specifically, it would be good to go through the wxPython wiki and test the code examples. Then put the OS, wxPython and Python versions that you tested with at the beginning or end of the page…I keep thinking that I’ll start doing this, but just haven’t gotten around to it. If you find broken examples, try to fix it and if you cannot be sure to mention it on the list so someone else can.
That should get you going…have fun!
