Hi,
my name is Andrea Grandi, I use Linux since 1996 and Ubuntu since its
first version. I've worked as software developer (and I'm
collaborating with Unity-2D team) and as system administrator. At the
moment I'm a student (I started university very late) and I have some
spare time to dedicate to opensource projects.
I'm currently managing am Ubuntu server that runs a wifi service
authenticator, so I use it every day.
I'd like to know if there is anything I can do to collaborate with this team.
p.s: if you need more information about me, you can find them on my

Hi Andrea,
Thanks for your interest in contributing to Ubuntu server! It seems
there's a lot you can do, so it mostly depends on what you would like to
do. Here are a few pointers
- We're currently reviewing the ubuntu server guide in preparation for
Oneiric. It would be awesome to take ownership of a subchapter and start
reviewing it in the next 2 weeks. For more info, please check this
thread:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2011-August/005805.html
- A lot of work is also going into Ensemble, the Ubuntu server
orchestration tool. A lot of work is needed there to start covering
open-source applications with ensemble formulas. You could pick your
favorite app, and start hacking a formula around it. This is something I
can directly help you with. You can learn more about Ensemble at:
https://ensemble.ubuntu.com/ (we're all in #ubuntu-ensemble)
- Another contribution path, since you mentioned you had development
experience, is to simply pick up an ubuntu server bug, and to start
working on fixing it! Here is a good start:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-server>
You can ask questions in #ubuntu-server
Hope that was helpful. Enjoy and start crunching :)
