# Looking for open source contributors to my projects

By Roy Osherove June 23, 2007 In [Community News](https://osherove.com/blog/category/community-news), [General Software Devel...](https://osherove.com/blog/category/general-software-devel)

**Historical article** · Originally published June 23, 2007; technical details may be outdated.

I've been thinking a lot about doing some active open source development, mainly sharing and getting contributions on my various code and tools from people in the community, and providing them as full open sourced pieces of code.

So I went out and started looking for subversion hosting solutions. [this post has a lot of nice options](http://snook.ca/archives/servers/hosted_subversion/). In finally went with hosting it all on [Assembla](http://www.assembla.com/), which freely gives out both subversion and trac support (source control and bug management) with practically no limit on disk space.

I've [set up a page](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/pages/roy-s-open-source-projects.aspx) detailing all my open-source ventures, and I'm looking for people to contribute and help make these projects better!
