Hi,

I''m interested in helping the team. How much free time do you need? :-)

I''ve been using Debian for a few years now, I have good programming
skills and I''m studying Infosec, so i''m very interested in the
subject. I''ve been eager to help improve Debian but I don''t
now where
to start, and haven''t had much free time to go through the regular
developer channels.

Of course, in the first few weeks I would need guidance on what and
how do to things to get up to speed. I would prefer a lighter and
easier job to begin with, such as working in the security tracker or
preparing debian security advisories.

Please let me know if you are interested.

Regards,
Pedro

check out http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/03/msg00007.html,
http://secure-testing-master.debian.net/helping.html and
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/secure-testing/doc/narrative_introduction?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
to get an overview what you could do. Probably working on the tracker is a 
good start. If you feel like helping then request to get added to the alioth 
project at: https://alioth.debian.org/project/request.php?group_id=30437
