I'm a C programmer. I use Debian. I put my projects under the GPL if I think other people might want to use them. Advogato sucks . There are no threads in discussions.
Users communicate through their diaries.
The documentation for the site is all over the place. The thing is, it will take me a while to get the feel of the advogato code. Also, I don't know enough of the libraries that the code uses. Other people are better suited to messing with the code. If you reply to this through your diary, I probably won't see it.
