Richard,

Thank you for your interest in helping the GNU Project!  We feel that
it's important that you find a project that you find interesting and
challenging, because then you'll be more likely to make a long-term
commitment.  There are a few places to look for a project to help.
Before you do, though, you might want to invest some time in learning
more about the GNU project, its beliefs and its goals.  You can do
this at the GNU project web page, http://www.gnu.org/.  The GNU
philosophy pages are especially important since GNU is an organization
that's centered around a common set of beliefs about Freedom as it
applies to software.  If you expect that your contribution to GNU will
involve writing code you should also read the GNU Coding Standards at
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_toc.html.

The GNU Project Education activity centers around the mailing list at
[email protected].  I'll copy this email to that list and you can pick
up with the education project folks.

Please let us ([email protected]) know if we can be of further help.

Regards,
The GNU Project Volunteer Coordinators

subscribe to the info-gnu mailing list at

list with news and announcements about the GNU project.
