IMPORTANT – From OC Blog

We just found an important issue in the software that can be dangerous if somebody finds out how to take advantage of it.

Last months I’ve been pretty busy with my studies and I needed to do a final project for my Master in Software Engineering.

Today is the 1st year birthday of Open Classifieds.

Actually the idea it’s older but the first release (0.8) it’s just 1 year old.

Since then there’s been more than 16.000 downloads and as far as I know few thousands of sites currently using it ;)

I want also to use this post to ask for help.

The growth of downloads and forum posts it’s been increasing considerable. This brings lot of work…

I need help to continue developing and to maintain this soft.

Currently the 2.0 version is not even started due to the lack of help.

Also here there’s a list of things you help with!

• Development
• Design
• Documentation (the FAQs are really old v1.5.4)
• Translate the site to any other language
• Donations to pay hosting!
• And any other kind of help it’s welcome.

UPDATE:

Chi, an Australian friend of mine, did this awesome new design for OC, but needs to be coded to HTML+CSS, after that I can make it work in OC ;)

BTW I’m at the Campus Party Europe, having lot of fun ;)

I have really good news for me and I hope for many of you as well: Open Classifieds has been chosen for Campus Party Europe 2010 as one of the projects that will be showcased in this event.

This fact is not easy since there are currently 50.110 applications and only 800 have been chosen. From this 800 they will chose the best 20 projects in each field in order to participate in a 3000€ prize.

Open Classifieds is, with less than 1 year old, becoming a reference in the Classifieds Software and in the Open Source community. Currently there are more than 14.000 downloads and more than 2.000 active sites using our software.

This event will take place in Madrid from the 14th of April to the 18th and there are plenty of conferences, workshops , etc.
