Giving Back -- Contributing to Debian and the New Maintainer Process

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Prereq: Familiarity with Debian, no programming experience necessary

This class is intended for users of the Debian operating system who are interested in helping make this already awesome project even more awesome. In three sessions, we'll cover how the development community works, submitting great bug reports, creating your own Debian packages, and finally going through the Debian New Maintainer process to become an official Debian Developer. You'll learn about Debian's wide selection of development tools in the process.
