I am ramping up to participate more in the FreeBSD project, and I could use some advice in two areas:
First, I could use some general ramp-up advice. About me: I'm not new to FreeBSD as an admin. I have contributed a few shell patches in the past, and I am somewhat familiar with the PR process. I am dusting off my C from college, and I've otherwise started to fish for myself as much as possible as outlined here: http://roycebits.blogspot.com/2009/04/contributing-more-to-freebsd.html Any other suggestions will be gratefully accepted. Second, I will be at BSDCan this year - my first BSD conference. I have already asked some of you for first-timer advice, but I could always use more perspectives. Also, since I won't recognize most of you by sight, please take a quick look at the photo on my blog. If you see me, some ice-breaking help would be appreciated. :-) If you are in the same boat -- either looking to ramp up, or new to BSDCan, or both -- I'm looking for buddies. I'll also be looking for like-minded folks at the "Getting Started in FOSS" session. Contact me off-list. I look forward to meeting you! Royce Williams P.S. My potential attendee buddy can't make it, so I now have an apartment-style room to combine with someone. Contact me if you're interested. _______________________________________________ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-chat-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
