I am not sure what kind of development you are expecting to do. Are you developing some separate product of your own which will run on FreeBSD? Or do you hope to make changes to the project itself? In the first case, you might be able to be listed under the web pages for "Vendors" (software) on www.FreeBSD.org. I suspect it will depend on what kind of software you develop. Generally you do not get an email account for that. In the second case, you write up changes, and send them in as PR's. Once you start doing enough of these, some FreeBSD committer will notice and will see about "mentoring" you as a new committer to the project. It can sometimes be tricky to get the attention of some developer, depending on what parts of the system you want ot work on. If you get to be a committer, then you would get an account on FreeBSD.org. In both cases, we'd want to see some *working* product or some written-and-working patches. So, you have to write the code first, and then worry about getting listed as a developer (or as a committer) after we see the result. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
