Hi,
I've recently subscribed to Trinity mailing lists, and
would like to introduce
myself.
As many others here, I'm a long time KDE user. I don't want
to rant about the
current state of KDE4; let's just say that now I feel no
more "at home" in KDE
community.
I like the ideas and spirit of the Trinity project, so I
would like to offer
some help in my spare time... which is unfortunately very
few. :(
But anyway, at work I maintain a minimal, server-oriented
openSUSE derivate
distribution, so I know how to manage RPMs, specfiles, and
building problems.
And I've also worked to projects both in C and C++ some
years ago, so I hope
to contribute some bug squashing too.
I would like to help with RPM packaging for openSUSE.
In the OBS site I've found the projects by Robert Xu. Are
there other efforts
or other people working on it? May I ask what is the
current state, and how
can I help?
Sincerely
Andrea Cascio
Hi Andrea,
Welcome!
Timothy Pearson is the Big Kahuna.
There are some OpenSuse folks hanging out here. They likely will see your introduction and
reply to you.
We do need people with a C++ background to help with the bug quashing. Right now Tim is in
a big SVN-to-GIT conversion and file renaming effort. When that is completed he then will
reopen the source tree and everybody who is able will start merging patches upstream and
start hacking at the bugzilla.
We also need usability testing.
There is a lot going on right now. We're all anxiously awaiting Tim's work but we
also are working toward reorganizing the web site and wiki. We tend to keep project
information files and status in etherpad.
There is much to do if you want to jump in anywhere. :)
