Since my posts usually get ignored we'll see what happens with this one. :-)
Since I don't have a great deal of money yet (When I win the lottery I promise to send big checks to Debian and Samba!! :-) ) what is the best way to contribute to the open source community? I've poked around on sourceforge to see if I could lend a hand but many of the projects that I found are probably a little over my head at this juncture. The initiative here is two-fold. One is selfish. I figure by contributing that I can continue to expand my knowledge. The other being that I find the whole open source community fascinating and I would really like to contribute. Unfortunately, at this point I am a newbie so I may be jumping the gun here a little but I like to dive in. I would really like to dive into the programming aspect (specifically in C) but don't have a great deal of C experience either. I have done quite a bit in VB, VBScript, JavaScript, a little RPG, Fortran, Cobol and so forth but not much in the C realm. I also hope it would help me on my road to Linuxdom. We don't run Linux boxes here at work ( though I am trying to set up a HylaFax server on Debian ) so I don't get a great deal of exposure there, and there is only so much to do on a home machine and I don't get much out of reading, I like to lay my hands on things and tear them apart to learn. My apologies for the rambling but any advice would be appreciated!!
