I have an Associates of Applied Science in computers from a small college in Oklahoma. In September of 2003 I was legally declared disabled. Now I do just about anything to avoid boredom. I'd like to help out; I love working with code. I'm not sure how qualified I am to work on large projects; I know the basics of C/C++ and Java, and I've worked a little bit with perl and python. What would you suggest I use to further educate myself to be of more use to the community? My wife and I have low income, so I'd prefer free resources if possible. In the meantime, are there any small projects out there that I can "cut my teeth" on? -Michael Sullivan- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
