Just ask in the right place. =) I'd be happy to mentor you. But I don't |
18 |
have as much free time as I used to, so you'll have to be a little |
19 |
flexible when communicating with me. |

The first step is to prove you deserve to become a developer, by |
22 |
basically doing everything they do except committing: Looking over bugs, |
23 |
reproducing them, fixing them when possible. Instead of committing the |
24 |
fix, you can simply post a patch on the bug for review and committing by |
25 |
a developer. |

An easy way to start doing this is to add cluster@g.o to your |
28 |
watch list on Bugzilla, and preferably start hanging out on IRC. Much of |
29 |
Gentoo's real-time collaboration happens on IRC, so you miss out on a |
30 |
bit if you can't be there. |
