Hi, Apologies, I didn't go through the questionnaire but it's not the first thing you see on the site.
> What areas are you interested in contributing to? I don't have a strong preference as long as it's about low-level stuff and not something like "implement HTTP library one more time". I also would prefer to start with something easier and smaller to see whether I manage to stay involved in the project for a longer time - it's my first time I think of bringing more than just a bug report or a single patch. Here's a couple of ideas: * enabling people to write translators in Haskell - I'm not sure how much work and experience it would require. * fix http translator crashing on my dead-simple website. * make `cat /` do something sensible (perhaps do the same as ls? or print the file names using the NULL byte as delimeter?) * relatime option to ext2 and possibly lazytime (this looks to be harder than relatime) * fix symlink translator https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/open_issues/symlink_translator.html > How much time do you have? I'll try to spend 30-60min per workday and see how it goes. > How is your expertise about system and kernel programming? I did quite a few low-level tasks: * I wrote a "C like-language" to x84_64 compiler * I've modified Minix's scheduler to be more fair * wrote a real-time multi-people voice chat program on UDP in C * I work as a sysadmin/devops so my job involves answering "what put Linux into a funny state and what is it unable to do?" question from time to time. * see answer below > Have you previously been working on Free Software projects? * https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780075 * https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780354 * and my first contribution: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=989269 > What is your motivation to work on the GNU Hurd? I think HURD is great and I would love to see a it develop. I also find it quite interesting and relatively easy: low-level programming without kernel-space headaches, Best, Krzysztof Piecuch Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Friday, April 19, 2019 7:35 PM, Joan Lledó <joanlluisll...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > I'd like to contribute to this project by writing some code. > > Do you have any idea on mind?
