What I ask is [...] getting me able to fix stuff So you don't have time to file bugs but you would have time to fix them ? Interesting... In any case, we require users to have a consistent history of helping the project before they are considered for recruitment. What you are doing for Sabayon is great but it can't be taken into account. Please find below some information that may be useful to get you started. There are many ways you can help. Two good ways to start helping out are proposing solutions for bugs [1] and contributing to an overlay [2] like Sunrise for example [3]. There is more information on how to get involved with overlay development at [4]. When your contributions become significant enough, developers may contact you (or you can contact them). You may also want to have a look at the staffing needs page [5]. You will need to read the Gentoo Documentation Resources [6], and more specifically the Gentoo Developer Handbook [7] and the Gentoo Development Guide [8]. Another way to help, especially for non-technical projects, is to contact people directly [9]. Be aware that they can be away though, so be patient, try others on the same project, and finally get back to us in case you fail to reach anybody. Do not hesitate to contact recruiters in the future in case you need more information. Best regards, Denis.
