You're going about it the right way: find bug reports that interest you, dig into the problem and try to come up with a solution, submit a patch to the bug report, correspond with the maintainer when they respond. Keep repeating this and you'll: * learn a great amount about the programs that make up Debian * learn a great amount about how Debian packages are put together * learn a great amount about how Debian itself is put together * learn how to identify packages that are likely to match your skills * learn how much patience is actually required with ongoing maintenance * make a record of your interactions with Debian project members all while making improvements to Debian with quick turn-around. Every one of those is essential to becoming a good Debian project member, so it's a very high-yield route to entry into the project. Thank you for your enthusiasm to improve Debian, and good fortune to you in scratching your itches! -- \ “True greatness is measured by how much freedom you give to | `\ others, not by how much you can coerce others to do what you | _o__) want.” —Larry Wall | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
