<princessalicorn>having to routinely change my nickname to this does become a little annoying <damo22>princessalicorn: if you have specific questions just ask, its a bit slow in general due to timezones <princessalicorn>Oh I want to ask about who specifically if anyone I should talk to about the " student application form " if that is a thing still. Specifically on the reccommended projects thing the basic test suite thing seemed pretty cool and within my skillset potentially. I think it would be a ogod oppurtunity as I said with #1 get volunteer hours for my school programme, and #2 be a good way to further learn about the GNU/Hurd <damo22>feel free to mail in your questions to the mailing list, someone will usually answer within a few days to any question you may have <damo22>or you can hang around here for a long time <damo22>im not familiar with the student program myself, i am working on hurd in my spare time <princessalicorn>Thats pretty cool. I have been in a couple areas around in the "Free Software Space" looking for things to volunteer over. I am still waiting for responses from most of them. Free Software is one of those things I can do volunteering with and be actually passionate about <princessalicorn>i occassionally contribute to projects in my freetime, like i did some stuff for the wiki for funtoo and i have my own small projects. But I have to activly reach out with this because it requires someone "supervising" and signing a sheet of paper <princessalicorn>I worry about coming off as annoying but I really do not know any way else to do this <damo22>the mailing list is probably easier for this kind of thing <princessalicorn>do you beyond GNU/Hurd have any other reccommendations for places to reach out to? <princessalicorn>well I enjoy doing writing a lot, and I also have some experience in adminstering FreeBSD computers. I have some C/C++ exp and have been using python for years. I want to atleast when I get into proffesionality get into systems programming <princessalicorn>though sometimes it does feel as if i dont tread water in actually learning <damo22>sorry i cant help right now im at work <alextee[m]>princessalicorn: there's zrythm if that's of any interest to you <Gooberpatrol66>princessalicorn: if you're interested in learning lisp, the thing that affects me the most at the moment is missing packages/services for guix <princessalicorn>ohhh that would be really cool, and Lisp has been something that I hve wanted to learn <princessalicorn>Is there a specific maintainer I could write/message who would be willing to sign off on whatever activties I do for the Guix project? Atleast on where to look? If so, then I think this will be another path I will attempt to pursue. <zamfofex>princessalicorn: #guix is more active than #hurd, so you’re more likely toreceive more attention asking there!
