Participate
Every Parsix GNU/Linux user can participate in the Parsix GNU/Linux
community. Here are some starting points for people who want to help.
You can participate in the Parsix GNU/Linux community on many
levels. We welcome new drive and ideas and any contributions to
improve Parsix GNU/Linux and spread Free Software.
Advocacy
The easiest way to give back to the Parsix GNU/Linux community is
by telling others about Parsix GNU/Linux and become an Parsix
GNU/Linux advocate.
Support
You can make a major contribution to the Parsix GNU/Linux project
by helping others use Parsix GNU/Linux:
Ideas and Feedback
Help steer the direction we take Parsix GNU/Linux, by describing
your vision and ideas for a better desktop OS and application stack.
Join to the Parsix
GNU/Linux Mailing List and participate in discussions.
Documentation
If you get stumped by a problem, chances are good that many other
people will be frustrated by it as well. If you are not in a position
to write code to change the situation -- for whatever reason -- you
can help everyone else out by writing up your experience and
documenting the solution! Some of the most constructive ways to get
involved in the Parsix GNU/Linux documentation community might be:
Take notes as you puzzle through a problem and then document
the solution and put it on the Parsix Wiki. Check to see if documentation
already exists first. If it does, augment or improve existing documentation.
If you are interested in working on the official Parsix
GNU/Linux documentation, you can join the Parsix GNU/Linux
Documentation Team. If you need more information, send an email to
docs AT parsix DOT org.
Quality Assurance and Bugs
Parsix GNU/Linux, like any piece of software, needs good testers.
You can contribute to Parsix GNU/Linux simply by running the latest
version and reporting bugs and helping follow those bugs until they
are fixed.
The first steps in getting involved in Parsix GNU/Linux QA and
bug-tracking include:
Running the latest development version of Parsix GNU/Linux,
and upgrading regularly.
Subscribing to the Parsix
GNU/Linux mailing list online and watching it. You can make an
important contribution by following the mailing list and reporting
bugs and issues that you run into.
Of course, you will run into problems when you run these testing
and development version of Parsix GNU/Linux. Using the software alone
is not a contribution; only when you report the bugs that you
encounter do you make a meaningful contribution to the Parsix
GNU/Linux community.
