You know, it's funny you mention that. I have been considering a career change. I have been a web programmer, 3D game designer, professional musician/audio engineer, and now I do network security. I'm an entrepreneur and have founded three multi-million dollar companies now and am two years into another new venture of my own.

I was thinking how making StreetDeck into the absolute best, most robust, most professional, stable, useable and powerful front end available now or anywhere would be a dream job -- an opportunity I would have never even knew existed a couple years ago and now I see all sorts of amazing potential in the CarPC space.

The problems I see are:
  • I live in Seattle with no intention of moving back east (I grew up in NY) -- although ironically one of my very best friends just moved to MD (where SD is located) last Friday! He's an awesome psy-trance producer and DJ BTW if anyone is into that: http://www.myspace.com/ioncommander
  • I really don't know C (assuming that's what it's written in) or Windows programming -- I'm all LAMP/PHP/DHTML/XML/JS/SQL/Ruby/J++ ... not that I'm unwilling to learn, but I doubt a company as small as StreetDeck will want to ramp me up.
  • I'm not sure they could afford me.

But I would absolutely love to be a PM or volunteer my time to have features implemented.

I do dissagree with you a bit. I think there are several 'bugs' listed. At my current job, I am the triage manager (amongst other duties) over 15 developers and we have almost 12,000 CRs (Change Requests) logged (I've been here since CR1 obviously). A "bug" doesn't necessarily mean a "crash", and often times it doesn't. That's why there are severity levels of bugs. ;-)
