New Guy Intro -Getting involved.

[Tim Apple]

Hey Everyone, 

This is the generic hey I'm new and want to help out email...

Well I am coming to KDE/Kubuntu from using mostly GTK desktop 
environments for 10+ years. I have always been just a casual user. The move 
to KDE was spurred by Kontact. It is the only Linux PIM solution that seems 
to do it's job correctly without jumping through a million hoops for just 
partial success. So kuddos to the people that work on it and thanks.

So in my short time using KDE and Kubuntu(I did mess with it in the 3.X days 
on Slackware) I see the KDE apps seem a bit better to me than what I had 
available on gnome, elementary, ubuntu....etc.. I like it. So I am here to 
stay.

So to the next part. It's time to get involved. I'm a pretty busy guy, but 
would like to help out anyway I can. I am a middle aged fellow planning on 
going to school finally to study programming, but have no prior experience. 
But it is the direction I want to head. So I would like to mostly deal with 
packaging, bugs, coding(some day) but would need a little hand holding to 
get started. Again, I am pretty familiar with Linux in general but as a 
desktop user..never did any back end stuff. 

If help is needed else where I don't mind either....English is my only 
language so translations are out...but if you need moderators, evangelists, or 
anything else, point me in the right direction.

I have subscribed to this list and can be found on the forums, twitter, 
telegram and IRC as @parzzix

Thanks so much for your time,
Kindest Regards,
Tim Apple
