DO NOT BID before looking at: www.mythtv.orgMythTv is a well developed open source PVR project offering an alternative to MS Media Centre for the Linux platform. MythMusic is one of the components I would like to see improved in the following ways:1. ability to downloadupload songs from the mp3 database to IPODs and other portable MP3 devices (requires USB support)2. integrated CD burning functionality (i.e. burn albums to CDR, backup mp3 collections to CDRDVDR, create MP3 CDs)3. ability to keep MythMusic playing whilst using other features of MythTv4. rearrangement of screen design to allow the user to easily to manipulate large mp3 collections according to alternate screen designs.Bidders must be familiar with Linux, C and Python.I am not looking for someone out to make a quick buck the successful bidder will be someone who is genuinely interested in this project and will be glad to improve an open source project.
Bid Smart - The lowest bidder doesn't always get chosen, far from it. Persuade your buyer why they should pick you - and they will.
Research - If John has paid more than $500 a contract for his last 10 project, why would you think he is interested in your $10 bid? Check up on the buyer, bid what he expects, and deliver quality to match.
Read - Please read the bid request - I cannot emphasise this enough - if you do not read the bid request then you will not be chosen, this is pretty much certain. Mention the bid request specifically in your application, and don't forget to repeat the key deliverables.
Innovate - Suggest features the bidder didn't mention, talk about future extensions to the project, and discuss whether you think his or her approach is a good idea. Show interest, intellect, and willing.
