Don't overwhelm yourself, I'm sure "a few" is plenty for now. Make sure you've subscribed to debian-ment...@lists.debian.org though, it is very helpful for beginner questions and answers. I've also seen you around on IRC, which is a very good idea; in my experience IRC, especially on the #debian-mentors channel, is a very relaxed forum for discussion and is a good place to ask quick questions. > And that does sound really interesting! Are autoupkgtests pretty ergonomic to write or do they take a bit of wrangling? It kind of depends. An autopkgtest is typically in the form of a shell script, but it can be written in any language you are comfortable with. Typically the tests (like the kind that I really love) that get multiple packages talking to each other will take a little bit of work, but will be all the more rewarding. Let's move this conversation to debian-ment...@lists.debian.org or onto the #debian-mentors IRC (my nickname is 'pert', we've already chatted a little bit there), which would make a more appropriate venue, and work on identifying packages you are interested in. Hope to see you there. P.S. This is totally unrelated, but I happen to be a happy Posteo customer too: you should look into having Posteo publish your OpenPGP key for you (you don't have to enable inbound encryption), which will make it easier for people to find and authenticate it. You will have to tweak your key though, I'll send you directions privately on how to do that momentarily. -- Homepage: [johnscott.me](https://johnscott.me)<br> Contact info: [as a vCard](https://johnscott.me/me/me.vcf) and [as an LDAP directory entry](ldap://johnscott.me/CN=John%20Scott,DC=johnscott,DC=me)
