Hey All,<br><br>I suppose I am in the same boat as Laurent. I would like to start contributing to my favorite OS :)<br>I know C++ and would eventually like to learn Python, but not exactly sure how/where to get started. I have been submitting bugs and trying to help with triage but would like to also do more. I think doing packaging could be beneficial to everyone but really just want to help in any way I can.
<br><br>So...Hi,<br>Bill (begert)<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/25/07, <b class="gmail_sendername"><a href="mailto:kubuntu-devel-request@lists.ubuntu.com">kubuntu-devel-request@lists.ubuntu.com</a></b> <<a href="mailto:kubuntu-devel-request@lists.ubuntu.com">

<br>Stick the option to it in the menu of media devices, and we can<br>finally format our external devices from the gui ;-)<br><br>Hehe, just an idea...<br><br>But more seriously, it's great you wanna help, and there is plenty to
<br>do, I'm sure. A nice way to start would be to begin getting Qt/KDE4 to<br>compile and run. Of course, you don't have to work on KDE to<br>contribute to Kubuntu, but afaik most Kubuntu stuff is currently being<br>
written in Qt4, often with python. And as KDE 4 libs are in Kubuntu,<br>KDE 4 based stuff will run too - even if it is run within KDE 3.<br><br>I'm sure others can provide more details on what tools or apps might<br>need help (or be written).
