Hi Minh :) There are many ways to help Debian, some of them non-technical. http://www.debian.org/intro/help As you've already helped Debian with Vietnamese translations (thanks!), that would be a great place to start. Translators can work on the website, wiki, package descriptions, package configuration questions, software interfaces and more. Some links: https://www.debian.org/international/ https://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/ https://lists.debian.org/debian-l10n-vietnamese/ Hopefully someone will respond to your mail to debian-l10n-vietnamese soon. There is also a fairly inactive list for Vietnamese speakers who use Debian: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user-vietnamese/ If you can give us some information about your other skills, we can recommend other areas your help would be useful in. Here are some ideas I had without knowing your other skills: If you are feeling creative, you could work on artwork Debian people have requested or work on a theme for Debian 9 (stretch): https://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/RequestArtwork https://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Themes The Debian publicity team can always use some help promoting Debian: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Publicity https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/11/msg00009.html You could come to Germany for DebConf15 or South Africa for DebConf16 and volunteer during the conference. There are various teams that need people during the conference; front-desk, video, talkmeister, setup, cheese & wine party etc. If you want to come, registration for DebConf15 is open now and attendees must register by 29 March 2015 in order to get sponsored food, accommodation and or travel. I think being a volunteer is enough to get sponsored food/accommodation, not sure about travel. http://debconf15.debconf.org/volunteer.xhtml https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf13/VolunteerCoordination http://debconf15.debconf.org/registration.xhtml You could help organise mini-DebConf in Vietnam. Here is an example of a recent one in India: http://in2015.mini.debconf.org/ https://wiki.debian.org/DebianIndia/MiniDebConf2015/Mumbai http://www.braincells.com/debian/index.cgi/search/item=295 You could start preparing a bid to bring DebConf to Vietnam for 2017 or 2018: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf17 https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf18 You could install Debian on a computer or use the Debian live CD and make some screenshots of software available in Debian and upload them to the screenshots website. https://screenshots.debian.net/ You could help tag all the software available in Debian to make it easier for people to find the software they need. http://debtags.debian.net/ Debian has many ideas but not enough people to work on them all. You could come up with some new ones or work on existing ones. https://wiki.debian.org/Ideas -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
