• Greetings Linux Hams

    From Daniel West@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 15 19:10:01 2022
    Greetings all,

    My name is Daniel, and I recently stumbled on your group. I was looking
    into ways to contribute to Debien (specifically I was on the documentation page) and found the hamradio-handbook repository which led me here.

    I am a previous US navy submarine radioman, a current ham radio operator,
    and work as a system engineer in a hospitals IT department. I have been a
    Linux user for many years, specifically on Debian and Debian based distros.
    I am a very amateur programmer, dabbled in C, C++, Python, and HTML/CSS.

    I would love the opportunity to contribute anyway I can to this community!
    It is indeed the marriage of two of my passions, amature radio and Linux.

    Hi Daniel,

    welcome!

    Most things we do in the Debian Hams team are actually generic Debian
    tasks: packaging, bug triaging, bug fixing. There is also some
    documentation as you have seen, but it's not quite the focus.

    https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian-hams@lists.debian.org

    There aren't that many bugs open, but one way to get started could be
    to go through some of them and leave "this does no longer/still apply"
    notes.

    Oh and of course, if you have something that you would like to
    package, we are here to help.

    73,
    Christoph DF7CB

    Thank you for the response and warm welcome!

    That sounds like a very good first step, just never know where to begin.

    Also is there any good documentation I should read?

    73,
    Daniel KN4VEW

    There's the new maintainer guide: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/
    and generally the developer's corner on the web site: https://www.debian.org/devel/join/
