What does Barry suggest?

"I stated awhile back that I would not forget the Puppy 3 series, so here is 3.02alpha1.

It has many features of Dingo back-ported.
I have very limited time right now as I have a lot of things
to do prior to my holiday (starting this coming Tuesday)
so alpha1 has had only basic testing and I have added
a small selection of the latest packages. Get it from here:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/test/puppy-3.02alpha1/∞ "
"If you find that it works and would like to work on it,
with a view to a final release version, I propose
that it be the basis of a Community Edition,
with the versions 3.02 - 3.09 being alpha
and beta releases, final being 3.10."
this is very much the goal of Lassie

  1. Optimised compiling, advanced Bash scripting and all sorts of programming skills.
  2. HCI skills: Graphics, GUI design
  3. Project Management
  4. Distro packaging
  5. Documentation
  6. Testing
  7. Maintenance and service packs
