FreeBSD Developer
Hi there, I'm going to develop software for the FreeBSD project. How do I get listed on the official FreeBSD page as developer and is it possible to get a mail alias like [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Manuel ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

See the Developer's Handbook, at the website, for a few clues. Also, it might be in the FAQ. It is something of a FAQ. I think the canonical reply *might* be: submit PR's with patches that fix bugs and implement desired features, coded in the Right Way(tm), and sooner or later someone will notice. Then you will be eternally punished with the desired commit bit and the you@ address Kevin Kinsey PS Your ?? was not mail-related; I have removed postmaster from the recipient list, as they are most likely concerned with other issues.

Are you developing some separate product of your own which will run on FreeBSD? Or do you hope to make changes to the project itself? In the first case, you might be able to be listed under the web pages for Vendors (software) on www.FreeBSD.org. I suspect it will depend on what kind of software you develop. Generally you do not get an email account for that. In the second case, you write up changes, and send them in as PR's. Once you start doing enough of these, some FreeBSD committer will notice and will see about mentoring you as a new committer to the project. It can sometimes be tricky to get the attention of some developer, depending on what parts of the system you want ot work on. If you get to be a committer, then you would get an account on FreeBSD.org. In both cases, we'd want to see some *working* product or some written-and-working patches. So, you have to write the code first, and then worry about getting listed as a developer (or as a committer) after we see the result. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
