I've worked as software developer (and I'm collaborating with Unity-2D team) and as system administrator. At the moment I'm a student (I started university very late) and I have some spare time to dedicate to opensource projects. I'm currently managing am Ubuntu server that runs a wifi service authenticator, so I use it every day. I'd like to know if there is anything I can do to collaborate with this team. p.s: if you need more information about me, you can find them on my wiki page <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AndreaGrandi">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AndreaGrandi</a> </pre> </blockquote> Hi Andrea, Thanks for your interest in contributing to Ubuntu server! It seems there's a lot you can do, so it mostly depends on what you would like to do. Here are a few pointers - We're currently reviewing the ubuntu server guide in preparation for Oneiric. It would be awesome to take ownership of a subchapter and start reviewing it in the next 2 weeks. For more info, please check this thread: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2011-August/005805.html">https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2011-August/005805.html</a> - A lot of work is also going into Ensemble, the Ubuntu server orchestration tool. A lot of work is needed there to start covering open-source applications with ensemble formulas. You could pick your favorite app, and start hacking a formula around it. This is something I can directly help you with. You can learn more about Ensemble at: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <a href="https://ensemble.ubuntu.com/">https://ensemble.ubuntu.com/</a> (we're all in #ubuntu-ensemble) - Another contribution path, since you mentioned you had development experience, is to simply pick up an ubuntu server bug, and to start working on fixing it! Here is a good start: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-server">https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server</a> You can ask questions in #ubuntu-server Hope that was helpful. Enjoy and start crunching :) </body> </html>
