Hubbard" Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Michael, Thank you for writing to us. There are many things you could do, and I'm currently working on a document for people interested in contributing to FreeBSD. I will be releasing this in the next couple of days. For now, I would recommend subscribing to one of our mailing lists - send mail to majordomo@freebsd.org and say `subscribe hackers'.
