Re: How can I contribute?

I agree, helping people is an awesome way to help out. Make a web
site, help out on the list, and help on the forums. That's a great
way to give back.

If you wanted to do something with programming, do some research on
Gnome development or KDE development, or take up a programming
language. There are a lot of great, free programming books available
on the web. Do a Google search for 'free online programming books'.
There's a great web site with hundreds of books. I'm not on my main
computer right now, or I'd give you a link to it. But there's a lot
of good information out there.

Helping people on this list or in other forums is also a way to
contribute

community, but I don't really know how. I was wondering if anyone
has
some suggestions to either help me learn more about programming or
something that I can do with my current skill set to give back to the
Ubuntu community. Sometimes I feel like a leech just using it. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
