I'm looking for information on volunteering for BSD related projects. For example, what resources exist that could help me find a project I can contribute to? I know the ideas page exists (https://wiki.freebsd.org/IdeasPage), and I was wondering if other resources exist. The ideas page seems like a good resource for someone with strong programming skills, and time, to start a project. However, for those who don’t have the skills or time to undertake a project by themselves, how can they find a way to contribute?
It seems to me, that at the moment, I would have to go through projects one by one and email them individually to find out if they need help and if my skills would be useful (unless current information exists on a website). Finding the right match between my skills and a project needing them would be time consuming. I hope there’s an easier way.
With all of this said, what exists to facilitate connecting individuals with projects who need help within the FreeBSD community? I’m fairly new to the idea of contributing, and I have the feeling I’m missing something obvious. Thanks for any help!
