So you don't have time to file bugs but you would have time to fix |
| 13 |
them ? Interesting... |

In any case, we require users to have a consistent history of helping |
| 16 |
the project before they are considered for recruitment. What you are |
| 17 |
doing for Sabayon is great but it can't be taken into account. Please |
| 18 |
find below some information that may be useful to get you started. |

There are many ways you can help. Two good ways to start helping out |
| 21 |
are proposing solutions for bugs [1] and contributing to an overlay |
| 22 |
[2] like Sunrise for example [3]. There is more information on how to |
| 23 |
get involved with overlay development at [4]. When your contributions |
| 24 |
become significant enough, developers may contact you (or you can |
| 25 |
contact them). You may also want to have a look at the staffing needs |
| 26 |
page [5]. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
You will need to read the Gentoo Documentation Resources [6], and more |
| 29 |
specifically the Gentoo Developer Handbook [7] and the Gentoo |
| 30 |
Development Guide [8]. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Another way to help, especially for non-technical projects, is to |
| 33 |
contact people directly [9]. Be aware that they can be away though, so |
| 34 |
be patient, try others on the same project, and finally get back to us |
| 35 |
in case you fail to reach anybody. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Do not hesitate to contact recruiters in the future in case you need |
| 38 |
more information. |

Best regards, |
