Would it be better if he said sacramental wine?
Only if the mods got the first glasses =p

Hey, respect the sanctity of the Arch forums sanctuary, no alcohol here. Off-topic is that way.
OP - there's no shortage of work (netcfg comes to mind) if you're into coding.

]]>- Bug Squashing (where do I start?)
This is my favorite way for people to get involved. Go to the bug tracker, find a bug in a piece of software you use. Try to replicate it, look for a fix or an open bug report upstream, post details in the tracker of whether the fix works or link to bug, etc...

Honestly, I think this is a very respectable post. It exemplifies a true desire to want to better our community, and I don't know how one can scoff at that.

To keep things as short as possible, I just wanted to help this community but have been contemplating how I would best do that. So, I figured I will detail a bit about my background and simply ask where I should spend time lurking around and helping out.
I'm a long time geek and have been in Linux for about a decade now. I've been working at a (hopefully respectable) web host company as a Linux administrator for over a year now which has been enlightening and quite fun, and has also recently brought to my attention that I could be considered a Linux professional. I also love to use Linux at home for all things possible, and specifically the Arch side of Linux. Before all this I was chasing my passion of software development, so I also have background in code, API documentation, debugging and all else that comes with.
So, where may I fit best to help out?
- These forums (which topic?)
- Bug Squashing (where do I start?)
- Code documenting
- something else?
To be fair I do realize I can help wherever/whenever I can, though I do that anyways. I was hoping for an answer with more inside information on anything that may be lacking that could use more focus.
