The Xbox Media Center can play music, videos, and pictures from the original Xbox console's hard drive, DVD drive, a USB flash drive, your home network, or the internet. But when it comes right down to it, the media center's just too cool and useful to be confined to a single hardware platform, so a group of the developers are busy porting it to run on any Linux machine. And they're asking for help.
If you have experience programming with C/C++ and have time to volunteer, you can contact the developers directly.

I have XBMC - it's pretty sweet. I wish they'd put out an official update since I don't want to bother with subversion.
All this talk of PC and Linux port makes me sad. Shows the original Xbox might not be common enough for folks to continue developing for. However porting is probably not the answer - developing plugins for Win MCE or assisting with Myth are pretty better uses of these guy's time.
