Have you read the debian-mentors FAQ at http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html ? Basically, it's unlikely that you'll get too many explicit requests from people saying "here's something to do", in part because if you don't want to do that, then the requester has wasted a fair chunk of time specifying a job to you that you won't do, because there's no way to force you to do it (unlike in a paying job). A few places to look for things to do: There's a list of packages which people have asked for help on in the WNPP (Work Needing and Prospective Packages) list at http://bugs.debian.org/wnpp. Search, in particular, for RFH -- Request For Help. In particular, check out my RFH on IRM for patch triage if you're a PHP type person. There is a list of "special projects" that need help at the todo page, http://www.debian.org/devel/todo. There's also several other lists of things that need doing listed in the FAQ. In short, be proactive. If you see something you don't like, *that* is what you should get involved with. If you can't work out how to get involved in that area, ask here, and someone will help you to get involved. But if there's nothing in particular that irritates you, then I guess you get an OS for nothing. That's how I was for several years before participating in Debian development. - Matt
