I've never worked with a Debian project before, but I've got a knowledge of C and have been inside some small parts of X code before and run a Debian-based distro of some kind on all the desktops, laptops, and servers that I use or manage. I would be willing to help out wherever there is a need and I'm able. Just let me know. > You don't need to be a DD, anyone who's interested is welcome.
