Not sure if this is the right place to post this. I'm introducing myself.

Using Linux doesn't mean you have to give up gaming :-) Hello Steam and 
Humble Bundles!

Excellent! I would suggest having a read through this page to get 
started. It covers all the different roles or hats, you can wear as part 
of the team. Really the goal is to communicate what activities you can 
participate in.

Given your experience and desire for programming and python, might I 
suggest you check out writing some autopilot tests?

I know reading wikis can be a bit boring, but the information is useful 
and should help you get started. Please do ping myself and/or the list 
once you've read the pages and gotten up to speed on autopilot or 
whatever else you wish to get started with. You might find you have 
questions, so please do feel free to pass those along as well. There are 
other ways of getting in touch with us; check us out on your favorite 
social media:

Myself, I'm 'balloons' on IRC. Ping me anytime. Welcome to the team!
