My bad, it looks like you first have to be part of the kicad-lib-committers
team to subscribe. What I suggest is you do a first contribution without
it, and if you wish to contribute further, we will add you to the team.

We will continue this in a personal conversation.

Well, this is one fine place to start, why not. Is this list by invite
only? I cannot see a "subscribe to " anywhere:
https://launchpad.net/~kicad-lib-committers ?

Re: [Kicad-developers] new person onboarding

[Carl Poirier]

Hi Alexei,

One area you can easily give a hand is in the libraries. We have devised a
set of rules a few months ago which form our Library Convention. We have
yet to adjust all the symbols and footprints to respect these rules, and we
need as well to approve all the pull requests coming in. There is therefore
no development experience needed.

If this is of interest to you, I suggest you join the kicad-lib-committers
mailing list, and we can start off something from there.

Regards,

Carl Poirier

[Kicad-developers] new person onboarding

[A. V. Dolganoff]

Hello, everybody,

I've joined the team and the list just few hours ago after quite some
time spent in kicad-users list/group and other forums because I think
Kicad has great future and is worth to contribute too.
Few words about me: I live near Paris and work in software industry, I
am an ERP consultant by trade (ERP=Enterprise Ressource Planning,
mainly SAP, Oracle Apps and Peoplesoft, my job has nothing to do with
electronics whatsoever), and I am an electronics hobbyist and musician
during my off-hours, so naturally my electronics projects always
gravitate to music-related electronics.
I've switched to Kicad few years ago because it does most of I want
from an EDA, is free and evolves constantly!
I am starting to release my projects under Open Hardware license and
Kicad fits there perfectly. At the same time I am able to sell some of
my designs, nothing to blow your mind financially, I am just able to
offset some of my hobby expenses...

Now, I would like to contribute something. The thing is I am not a
great developer (not a developer at all in fact...), but I could take
some tasks related to documentation, tutorials and such.
My English is not my native language, maybe I could start with some
French translations or something of the sorts?

If you have any docs introducing new participants to the toolchain,
general practices, what steps to take at first etc., I am happy to
start anywhere!

Cheers, Alexei
