[LUG] Helping with FOSS projects

 

After reading neil's comment on how the release of etch was months of hard 
work I looked back and considered why I had not got heavily involved into 
helping projects out.
I realise that the main problem is where to start. You can read lots of 
articles that tell you to start filing bug reports on projects that you 
use/like but there is no real set up.
What I would like to try and do is to produce a section on the lug wiki about 
getting involved but I have (again) no idea what needs to be put down. To 
that end (+ getting myself involved in them) do people want to start 
submitting posts on how they started or on what they would like to be there 
to support them etc..
Another idea that I had that I suggested at what i think was the last meet was 
that; we as a lug could 'adopt' a project (I suggested ppracer) and then 
assist and guide people into getting onto the FOSS ladder

P.S. Excuse the grammar and spellings but it is late and I will forget by the 
morning.
