Hello, I hope this is the right place to post this question, but I am looking for some advice on how to gain the necessary technical skills to help with future development of Devuan.
I am relatively new to Linux (2 years) and to computing in general. Prior to starting in Linux, I had just a rudimentary knowledge of computers (just from running Windows and building my own computer from parts bought online), but I have learned a lot of the last 2 years through working with Linux. I have read William E. Shotts book The Linux Command Line, and I also earned a Verified Certificate from the Linux Foundation by taking the Introduction to Linux class at www.edx.org. I am currently trying to learn Python through an online tutorial at http://www.learnpython.org/. The reason why I would like to help with Devuan is because I really love Linux and am sad to see what is being done to it by RedHat and systemd. Last year I was really discouraged because I felt like I had discovered Linux to late and now all that I loved about it was going away. So, it was a real encouragement to see the VUA and their announcement about Devuan. I understand the difference between Open Source and Free Software and would like to be a part of a community like Devuan that values the freedom of its users. I know that I have a lot to learn, especially after reading the technical posts here about the development of Devuan, but I am motivated and want to learn. There is so much out there to read that I am overwhelmed sometimes and don't really know where to start. There are so many man pages that I really don't know which ones are the most important ones to read first. So, I am wondering if I could get some tips on what I need to learn and how I can go about getting the proper training to be of service here in the Devuan community. I would like to be able to help detect and fix bugs, and maybe become a package manager someday. Thanks for your advice, Jeremy
