Help me figure out a skateboard graphic

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/35273912

Hi, all!

I love Linux. I LOVE open source. I suck at designing anything artistic.

I just got into skateboarding and I am going to order a new deck for this old board we have. The deck is a cruiser style with a fish tail.

What FOSS characters or designs/references would be cool to see?

I was just thinking of Tux, but I need some more ideas. Especially for the griptape.

Thanks! This is truly the year of the Linux desktop.

529 for younger sibling

Hi, there. I want to start saving money for my younger sibling so they can go to college easier.

I have financial aid and managed to get a scholarship to pay for a good amount.

I don't spend a lot of money. So I can put some aside every month for the next 5 years. Wouldn't the rates be pretty good to put money into?

Any reasons why I shouldn't be trying this? Should I save for myself or something? The potential earnings seem like a better idea.

Hiring FOSS Mobile Devs

Hi!

This might be an unusual post. Certainly is my first time doing one like this. I'll cut straight to the point.

I want clean and polished FOSS games for the F-Droid repository.

Looking for developers who want to contribute to open source but also want to claim this kind of bounty.

It isn't much at all, but I have a $500 budget. I'm a college student with no more free time to do this myself. This is a goal I still want to see reached though.

The game(s) don't have to be over complex. Just enough to hit that mobile game itch. Maybe I don't know exactly what I want, but something is just missing from these F-Droid games.

If you even have a great mobile game idea, but needed money for assets or motivation.

All I need is a decent Godot developer. Whether you just want to help out the community, a high school student trying to find a gig, or both. Looking for anyone who can put some time into this.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Godot Engine only
  • AGPL Licensing
  • Publish to FDroid under a group name
  • Are okay with limited in-game advertisements (1. on certain games 2. if I find a decent ad system)

PAYMENT OPTIONS

  • Monero
  • Wire Transfer
  • Wise International Transfer
  • Check in Mail
  • Zelle
  • Other?

Send an email if you're interested, but I do want to have comments left here just for future reference.

[email protected]

Some questions to all F-Droid users here:

  • What do you say on the current state of F-Droid games?
  • What separates slop from a good mobile gaming experience?
  • What games do you want to see on F-Droid?

My definition of a mobile game is quick and digestible. Something for an on-the-go and addicting experience.

Tell me your thoughts below. Am I overreaching? Am I underpaying? Should I just make this a game jam? I'm super sick right now so maybe my thoughts are clouded.
