I've just realized that my previous subject line was pretty generic (and even spammish-looking); resending using a better one. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Royce Williams <royce.williams@gmail.com> Date: Sat, May 2, 2009 at 11:49 AM Subject: contributing more To: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org I am ramping up to participate more in the FreeBSD project, and I could use some advice in two areas: First, I could use some general ramp-up advice. =A0About me: I'm not new to FreeBSD as an admin. =A0I have contributed a few shell patches in the past, and I am somewhat familiar with the PR process. =A0I am dusting off my C from college, and I've otherwise started to fish for myself as much as possible as outlined here: =A0 =A0http://roycebits.blogspot.com/2009/04/contributing-more-to-freebsd.h= tml Any other suggestions will be gratefully accepted. Second, I will be at BSDCan this year - my first BSD conference. =A0I have already asked some of you for first-timer advice, but I could always use more perspectives. =A0Also, since I won't recognize most of you by sight, please take a quick look at the photo on my blog. If you see me, some ice-breaking help would be appreciated. :-) If you are in the same boat -- either looking to ramp up, or new to BSDCan, or both -- I'm looking for buddies. I'll also be looking for like-minded folks at the "Getting Started in FOSS" session. =A0Contact me off-list. I look forward to meeting you! Royce Williams P.S. =A0My potential attendee buddy can't make it, so I now have an apartment-style room to combine with someone. =A0Contact me if you're interested.
