Yay! :-) |

We can always do with more people with an interest in functional |
| 20 |
programming languages. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
We have fairly strong Haskell and Caml teams but seem to be quite short |
| 23 |
on people interested in the untyped lisp-like functional languages. |

I also teach FP, compilers and OOP to undergraduates :-) |

So you've clearly got great credentials. The process to qualify involves |
| 34 |
learning a lot about how Gentoo works, including management, ebuilds, |
| 35 |
portage, cvs and bug tracking. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
As others have said, the best way to start is to look at fixing some |
| 38 |
open bugs or contributing new ebuilds. |

You'll want to take a look at the Gentoo developer handbook: |

| 42 |
|
| 43 |
In particular here is the section on becoming a developer: |
