nlsthzn-worksuperfly: hey :)16:51
superflyplustwo: would you like some real advice?16:57
plustwosuperfly, yes please!16:58
superflyplustwo: find a project you like, an application you use on a regular basis (like at least once a week) and get involved with that... 1. go and hang out in their IRC channel and get to know the developers, 2. go and checkout their source code and read it,  3. read their bug tracker and follow how they fix their bugs, 4. when you're comfortable with the code, find a small, simple bug, fix it, and submit a patch to the developers17:00
superflydo it in that order17:01
plustwothank you superfly 17:01
superflywriting an application of your own is (a) a major endeavour, and (b) almost always not necessary17:02
superflyoh, and (c) if you don't like current apps, and think you can write a better one, dump that idea and go and help another project... there are FAR too many half-baked abandoned projects out there17:03
plustwonoted. & thanks again.17:03
plustwosuperfly, what if the app/project doe not have an IRC channel? e.g brasero or testdisk17:49
superflyplustwo: subscribe to their mailing list(s)17:49
