Hello fellow NS2 fans!!
If you have been tracking recent news from Natural Selection 2 you may have noticed that development has been fully taken on by a Community Development Team, comprised of truly outstanding members from the community who are dedicated to continuously improving the game they love for everyone. While the team has been moving at an impressive pace with improvements (with much more to come!), fixing many of the most requested issues since before the game was released, and even including new features - there remains one area we have not been able to adequately tackle :
The Linux side of NS2.
Recognizing this, we have come to the conclusion that we need more Linux savvy developers onboard. This means we need you, the community, the Linux penguins of the TSF Marines to become part of the CDT and help improve NS2 on Linux systems for everyone, everywhere! If you feel like you’ve got the skillset, time, and motivation for this; and the ability to effectively and amicably work with a team, please apply today and in the very last comment box write “I want to be a Linux CDT member!”. Be sure to give as much information as you can about yourself, as well as your skillsets and background.
We hope to see you on the team soon!

Thank you. If I'm understanding this correctly the Community Development Team is just fueled by goodwill and their love for the game. I don't know if you'll find someone similar amongst the Linux community, but I wish you the best of luck.
I thought this is exactly the kind of thing you'd find in the linux community. They contribute to open-source projects they love for no other incentive other then goodwill and because they love it. Surely the same would apply here.
As I understand it, this is not an open-source project. Surely some volunteers will apply to contribute nonetheless.
Remember friends, badges = skill.
Sadly im pretty time poor (so i wouldnt be a great playtester)
On the plus side im a Linux sysadmin, so tracking down why XYZ wont work is kind of job requirement. :-) So id you need help getting stuff to run etc, Id be happy to help.
Good luck until then; As I said, I'll be back!
Thanks and cheers!
Jacob.
Oh and: "I want to be a Linux CDT member!”
