Hey! First of all, welcome! <img goomoji="330" style="margin: 0pt 0.2ex; vertical-align: middle;" src="cid:330@goomoji.gmail"> If you do get a chance, one of the best ways to contribute at the moment is fixing bugs I believe. You can see a full list by package at <a href="http://www.tinyurl.com/EduBugs">http://www.tinyurl.com/EduBugs</a> I'm sure whatever you decide to contribute it will be extremely useful. I am relatively new to this project too, and I understand it has been inactive for a while. But in the last few weeks we've been changing that, so the contributions now really do matter <img goomoji="332" style="margin: 0pt 0.2ex; vertical-align: middle;" src="cid:332@goomoji.gmail"> Pay a visit to #edubuntu on <a href="http://irc.freenode.net">irc.freenode.net</a> sometime. It'd be great to see you there ;]. I hope you find the edubuntu community as welcoming as I did, Ben <div class="gmail_quote"> On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 12:05 PM, Rodolfo Andrade <<a href="mailto:rodolfojandrade@gmail.com">rodolfojandrade@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello all, My name is Rodolfo and I am a Portuguese Telecommunications engineer. I believe that the work that you have been doing with edubuntu is extremely value to reduce the differences between low and highly developed countries. Tools such as edubuntu are invaluable to small children that not have the resources to use other proprietary software, even if I believe the true impact of such tools will only be seen in the mid future. To sum up, I like your project and want to contribute to it. I have been working with linux for a few years as a system admin and use it intensively at home. I have some experience in C/C++ and Java but I think I could be more useful in the translation task. I honestly do not know if there are already being done any efforts in translating edubuntu to Portuguese... On the other hand I do not have any experience in open source software development... Any how, hope to hear from you guys soon of how I can start or with whom should I speak! Keep the good work!
