VLC media player for Mac OS X
Looking for more Mac OS X developers
We are currently looking for more developers for the Mac OS X port of VLC. Needed skills are C-knowledge and some experience in programming for Mac OS X by using Cocoa and Xcode. Know-how on programming A/V applications will probably make the work easier for you, but is not essential.
If you would like to join the project, feel free to send us an e-mail to the vlc-devel mailing list or to contact us through our forum.
