Hi Shayan, Glad to hear you are willing to contribute! Whatever you choose to work on, there are a few prerequisites that you will benefit from. I suggest you do the following while you are still looking around:
1. Join the Debian Med team. 2. Subscribe to the mailing list (I assume you have done this already) 3. Create a GPG key (if you don't have one) 4. Join salsa.debian.org and debian-med team there. You may as well give a look in list of bugs in Debian Med-maintained packages [1], maybe you'll find something you can fix, to begin with. Best, Andrius [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=debian-med-packaging%40lists.alioth.debian.org On Mon, 1 Jul 2019, 18:14 , <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Andrius, > > Many thanks for your reply! > > As of this moment, I am looking at the options I have as to what packages > I can create or if pre-existing, maintain.
