Since you are just starting with Gentoo it is probably not wise to invite= you=20 into some kind of developership right away :), however you still may find= =20 Gentoo Development handbook usefull: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml It has a good deal of information on how to write ebuilds, eclasses, what= =20 caveats to expect, - stuff that you will find usefull if you want to step= =20 outside of merely "using" Gentoo. This reference might be usefull too: http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ although I'd suggest it as a second "more advanced" reading :). As for the involvement: the natural place to start would be to look at=20 bugzilla: https://bugs.gentoo.org search for sci bugs and start helping. Resolving real problems or just=20 testing/cleaning up submitted ebuilds. Of course you may as well submit=20 ebuilds of your own ;) (but search the bugs first! You will be amazed hom= =20 much stuff we have there).=20 Since you metion you are interested in physics you should probably look h= ere: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D138711 The bug is closed, since the herd has already been created (as announced)= ,=20 however it lists the number of packages that are expected to be added to = the=20 tree eventually. You may try creating ebuilds for some of those that are = not=20 in bugzilla yet. However if you do so, I'd suggest you coordinate with Lu= is=20 Medinas, who is the reporter of that bug and who "oversees" the physics=20 caterogy and herd.. Thanks again for your interest and wellcome!
