There are plenty of things that can be done, depending on what kind of |
| 20 |
skills you bring with you. And please note that those skills need not be |
| 21 |
technical in order to help out. Just some things off the top of my head: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
* participate in the community (e.g. here or in the forums) to help |
| 24 |
others with Gentoo things |
| 25 |
* participate on bugs.gentoo.org by adding relevant comments to bugs, |
| 26 |
trying to fix bugs, providing new ebuilds or patches (and bugday is a |
| 27 |
good way to get started with that: http://bugday.gentoo.org/) |
| 28 |
* help out the documentation teams to maintain the current information or |
| 29 |
create new stuff and possible translate it |
| 30 |
* help out with Gentoo artwork |
| 31 |
* help out with the organization of Gentoo stuff such as events and PR |
| 32 |
* becoming a developer: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/staffing- |
| 33 |
needs/ |
| 34 |
* that one thing that you can do really well but that I forgot to list |
| 35 |
here |

Feel free to drop me an email off-list if you'd like to discuss what you |
| 38 |
can do for Gentoo. |
