  • New Contributor Interested in Joining the Debian Project

    From Rupesh Dubey@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jan 13 07:50:01 2023
    Dear Debian Team,

    I hope this email finds you well. My name is Rupesh and I am new to the
    open source community. I am currently learning Python and I am excited to
    start contributing to open source projects.

    I came across Debian OS and I am impressed by the work that you all do. I
    would love to learn more about the project and how I can get involved.

    Could you please provide me with some information on how to get started?
    Are there any specific areas of the project that are in need of
    contributions? Are there any resources or guides that would be helpful for
    a new contributor like myself?

    I am eager to learn and contribute to the Debian community and I would appreciate any guidance and support you can provide.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Best regards,
    Rupesh Dubey

    Welcome to the community!

    I came across Debian OS and I am impressed by the work that you all
    do. I would love to learn more about the project and how I can get
    involved.

    Thanks! The intro might be useful to help familiarise you with Debian:

    https://www.debian.org/intro/

    There are many different ways to get involved in Debian, depending on
    what skills you have, what you want to learn and what software/other
    interests you have. Most of them are documented here:

    https://www.debian.org/intro/help

    Could you please provide me with some information on how to get
    started? Are there any specific areas of the project that are in need
    of contributions? Are there any resources or guides that would be
    helpful for a new contributor like myself?

    Pretty much every part of the Debian project needs help and the same
    goes for open source in general.

    A common way to contribute to Debian is to help maintain existing
    packages within the teams that look after them, or to contribute new
    packages either inside or outside an existing or new team.

    https://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals#packaging-tutorial https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/
    https://wiki.debian.org/Teams

    Since you mentioned Python, you might be interested in joining the
    Debian Python module packaging team, or maintaining Debian services
    that are written in Python such as the package tracker:

    https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonTeam
    https://wiki.debian.org/Services https://wiki.debian.org/Services/Debian%20Package%20Tracker https://qa.pages.debian.net/distro-tracker/contributing.html

    I am eager to learn and contribute to the Debian community and I
    would appreciate any guidance and support you can provide.

    Hopefully the links above help. For more specific advice, you can join
    the #debian-mentors chat channel, folks will ask you about your skills
    and interests and give advice.

    PS: If you encounter any unfamiliar jargon in your Debian adventures,
    our glossary might be helpful.
