Sorry for top post... it isn't my normal behavior.
I would be interested. I have always compiled my own and I have time to
help. Best part is that I need an excuse to get back to working with
gentoo again.
I'm not sure what sort of duties you are looking to have performed but
I'll tell a bit about me.
I used to follow LKML for fun and to keep abreast of what was going on.
I know how to use patch -p1.
I've been a unix and linux admin for 7 years now.
I currently hold a QA position with a software company. I learned to
submit good bugs from years of using open source and have familiarity
with several bug tracking suites. Bugzilla has changed some since I've
used it but I'm sure I'll be able to pick it up quickly.
What else would you like to know?

I'm looking for someone with at least:
- Interest in kernel stuff, or a desire to become interested
- Time to put towards the tasks
- Enthusiasm to ask lots of questions rather than let stuff
sit around
- Basic experience with bugzilla
- Basic kernel experience (i.e. you can compile your own)
Having knowledge of kernel internals or experience with kernel hacking
are NOT requirements because if you have time, interest and ask a lot of
questions then these will come anyway. A lot of the work doesn't involve
technical stuff, plus I was certainly very clueless about all this when
I originally got involved a few years ago.
Being an existing Gentoo developer is not a requirement. Most of the
work is done on bugzilla and via email. This may be a good opportunity
to get involved with development and later become a Gentoo developer for
those that are interested.
