How do you get programmers to join your project?

All that has been said here is true. Back in 2005 many tools were not available so things were more complicated and eventhough nowadays tools (social networks, repos, etc.) can make things more complicated (because everybody is using the same channel) it is less painfull.

@JR and @JG can I compile both articles into one on french; there are people out there who will appreciate I guess.

5 reasons professors should encourage students to get involved in open source projects

Great article. This a reality that unfortunately many professors, colleges, universities and students are not getting yet. It is incredible how far you can improve your skills (coding, interacting with users, teamwork, etc.). For me it is a must even if you are not taking an IT course.

Now the next question might be what is the best community for me ? To that I will answer it depends on who are and what you want to achieve.
