Many people get involved in Debian through working on software or a problem they are interested in, are blocked by for another project or have another intrinsic motivation to work on. This is known as "scratching an itch" and is one of the best methods to get involved. An increasingly popular method of getting involved is through the many paid and unpaid internship programs, most of them don't have Debian involvement though. https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2019 https://github.com/fossjobs/fossjobs/wiki/resources#internships Apart from the internships, there are a number of different ways to get involved in Debian, both technical and otherwise: https://www.debian.org/intro/help If you want to help with packaging, installing and running the how-can-i-help tool will find packages on your system that need adopting or other help. It also finds tasks suitable for newcomers in Debian services. https://wiki.debian.org/how-can-i-help For more specific guidance the Debian mentors chat channel should be able to help based on questions they might ask about your interests etc. https://wiki.debian.org/IRC ircs://irc.oftc.net/debian-mentors https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels=debian-mentors -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
