"The Haiku Project had its annual conference in Orlando this past weekend, and though I have little experience with BeOS or Haiku, I decided to attend and write about the conference because it's 20 minutes from my home. It's called WalterCon because 'Walter' was one of the proposed names for what was to become a free replacement for BeOS. Be, Inc. may be dead and gone, and the BeOS source code may have been sold and warehoused, but the spirit of Be lives on in Haiku and WalterCon. If only it had a little more developer support, you'd be hearing about the Haiku operating system a lot more often. Heck, you might even be using it."

Tell you what. I'm not a coder, well at least not enough of one to want to do it for a living, but I would imagine any submission to projects like this could be considered resume material.
If I could code well enough to submit to OS development I would jump on it in a heartbeat and code anything I could for free.
Besides, don't you think if Haiku gets far enough along they may start paying people for their time if they're good enough?
