> Someone give me a job because I like your project. Round here, the following are considered critical skills: 1. Being able to decide yourself what interests you. 2. Finding tasks that are worth doing. 3. Judging yourself whether your skills are sufficient to attempt working on any particular task you discover. 4. Reading code, listening to advice, and learning on the job. To help with item 2, watching the OpenBSD mailing lists makes sense because potential issues are often mentioned there. Using the system yourself also makes sense because you might discover issues that way. To save management overhead, OpenBSD does not maintain a global bugtracker. TODO lists only exists for a few sub-projects, for example https://portroach.openbsd.org/ https://cvsweb.bsd.lv/mandoc/TODO and there may be a few more. Be aware that picking entries from any TODO list makes it even more important to get the items 2 and 3 above right. Starting with small bugfixes in code and/or documentation is usually a good idea. Java ports also exist for OpenBSD, but unless i'm quite mistaken, those ports are rather complicated beasts; i certainly don't know anything about them. Good luck and have fun, Ingo
