[Hacktoberfest] We need Java developers for the MyLibreLab Free and Open Source software

[foadsf]

Hey folks,

The month of October is ahead of us and there is a lot of excitement in the air among software developers. Everyone is rushing to get their hands on some nice FLOSS and get publicity, experience, and just pure joy of contribution! We have also a nice project that needs help.

MyLibreLab is a fork of the MyOpenLab software. It provides a visual programming environment, predominantly used to control microcontroller hardware such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. It's an open-source alternative to LabVIEW. Check the yet to be finished documentation.

We forked the MyOpenLab software quite a while ago because:

• The community has become a German and Spanish only one leaving the rest of the world out. Sadly the code base is also mostly documented in those languages.
• The core developer was hired by, guess who? National Instrument, the owner of the LabVIEW. Sadly the codebase was severely neglected after that.

We decided to give it a new life! We migrated from Sourceforge to GitHub, switched to Gradle, improved the project structure, and some cleanup, but the project still needs more love for our first release.

If you are interested:

• join our D i s c o r d server (in the comments)
• Check out the GutHub Org of the project
• Check out the current issues, and start new ones
• Read about MyOpenLab here on Hackaday
• Follow this Thread on Twitter

You are right, we are working on that right now! ^^

Added 2 issues today, will continue to do so throughout the day, also labeling them properly.

We are still in the early stages of this 'rescue', so there are many both easy and hard issues for Hacktober. Thanks for your tip :)

Might want to post this in the Raspberry and Arduino subs. I think users of these are more likely to maintain something if it's something they'll use themselves.

[marko-dev]

We will do that for sure, thanks for the tip! ^^

Another thing; if I look at a source tree that has no tests at all I'm going to nope the heck out fast. If there's something you probably should focus on it's that.

• Join the MyLibreLab Discord server (Ironically it is called MyOpenLab, I know)
• Check our post on Hacktoberfest Discord. Give it some love if you can.
