Hello to both of you, Christian and Ayrton. Most people here got involved as you are doing, either creating or helping to create some project, or fixing a favorite bit that needs some love.
Be sure to also join the KDE Community list, and also specific lists and IRC channels corresponding to your interests. Fixing bugs is great, answering user's common questions is also useful! And read though documentation and fix the bits that are behind or incorrect. More senior people often can't see those parts, because of too much familiarity. KDE-community ML: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo gives an overview of some KDE lists; not exhaustive though (and maybe not fully up-to-date) https://userbase.kde.org/IRC_Channels is again an overview. If I'm looking for a specific channel to refer users to, I usually use "alis", freenode's channel search service. Use it like so: /msg alis list *searchterm* and read the output in your server tab. It would be cool if you have a blog to add it to the KDE Planet. If you don't have one, start! It's a wonderful way to get the word out about your projects, or what you are learning. https://planetkde.org/ All the best, Valorie On Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 1:54 PM, Ayrton Cavalieri de Almeida <ayrtoncavali...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello! > > My name is Ayrton Cavalieri, I’m new to the KDE too! :-) > I’m working with my team on the Br-Print project, a 3D printer host written > in Qt/C++.
