I want to be able to actually contribute in code. Alot of ideas I have seem fairly simple, but I don't have the skill yet to really work on projects. It would be better if I could get an idea started before bothering to propose it to any teams.
Ideally I would like to learn Qt, how to make RPMs, and how to use the OBS. Frankly though, I'm not too picky since there are a wide array of things I could work on that don't use those. I have a very hard time with books and such since I have a learning disability, but I learn very well with hands on stuff.
Roger,
About 'how to crated RPMs' I can suggest you a read: http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/2009/05/rpm-packaging-for-beginners/
=> It gives you basic insight into creating a .spec file.
If you wish, you can always find me on #opensuse-gnome on freenode. You're more than welcome to swing by and ask anything. We'll gladly get you started there. Best would be for you to find something you want to have packaged up (preferably for a start a single app / package, not an entire gnome/kde/lxde stack :P )

I'm mostly interested in tinkering with single bits of software that I think we could add to openSUSE. For example, I wanted to try porting the greeter from Mint and Pardus to see how suitable those would be to adapt to replace our old greeter thingy. Or simply to be able to pull patches from upstream to merge for updates, or to port little programs that we are missing in OBS and such, like Zim. I bookmarked your blog entry and will read it, and am looking at the Junior Jobs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
