Hi, welcome in the Ubuntu community. Here are some questions that might point you in a direction. Do you ran into bugs that you want to have fixed? You can scratch your own itch by (trying to) fixing them. That got me involved. Are you passionate about specific application? You could look at those. Are these packages up-to-date? -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
