[02:03] <xubuntu82d> Hello Everyone, I am a student developer, working as an intern. I am really grateful to the xubuntu community and want to contribute to opensource. if there is anything i can start with.
[02:06] <Unit193> Well hey, glad you found something that worked for you then!  Are you a programming student or doing something else?
[02:06] <xubuntu82d> yes, i am a programming student
[02:07] <xubuntu82d> i know C, C#, java, Python, i have been learning CI/CD, openshift and docker lately
[02:07] <Unit193> OK, so several of the Xubuntu applications are python, and Xfce stuff upstream are all C.
[02:07] <xubuntu82d> also playing around with opencv.
[02:08] <xubuntu82d> where can i start ?
[02:09] <Unit193> That's a very good question!  I normally do a lot of the packaging so I basically just keep on trucking, I can't say for sure where a good start would be but I think Sean or Simon could steer you in the correct direction.  As Simon is in Europe, he's offline now and won't be around again until at least the morning though.
[02:11] <Unit193> We have a mailing list which we usually use for announcements, and we use this channel to discuss things that crop up.  Due to timezones and busy schedules, it sometimes is hard to catch someone active so we usually either have a bouncer (znc, etc) or use something web based like irccloud if either of those could help you?
[02:11] <xubuntu82d> Thank you! i will stick around.
[02:11] <Unit193> A lot of the Xubuntu stuff is hosted https://github.com/xubuntu, and Xfce stuff is over at https://gitlab.xfce.org/explore/groups?sort=name_desc
[02:12] <Unit193> Perhaps arraybolt3[m] has some ideas for introduction points as well.
[02:13] <xubuntu82d> i see, interesting. I can start with xfce. I will see what i can work on. i really appreciate the guidance
[02:13] <arraybolt3[m]> xubuntu82d: If you don't want to set up an IRC bouncer, you might try using Matrix via element.io - that will catch messages for you even when you go offline.
[02:14] <Unit193> I do apologize for being unable to point you in a good starting point right now, but someone that is a little better organized should be around eventually.
[02:14] <arraybolt3[m]> (Sometimes the Matrix bridge goes down, though, so have IRC handy too so that you can still connect even if Libera glitches out.)
[02:14] <Unit193> If you do register on Xfce's gitlab, poke me with your username so I can give you fork privs.
[02:14] <xubuntu82d> No worries, that's plenty to start with. I will setup the bouncer, and start with xfce
[02:45] <xubuntu82d[m]> Matrix is cool
[02:46] <arraybolt3[m]> xubuntu82d: 👍️
[07:33] <ochosi> xubuntu82d[m]: sure, I guess there are some onboarding docs for xfce over at https://docs.xfce.org/contribute/start
[07:33] <ochosi> if you have questions feel free to reach out
[21:47] <Unit193> Oh!  I did upload xfce4-notifyd, just never sync'd it.
