       # Intro
       
       You like OpenBSD? Then, I'm quite sure you can contribute to it!  Let
       me explain the many ways your skills can be used to improve the project
       and contribute back.

       I proposed to update the official FAQ with this content, but it has
       been dismissed, so I'm posting it here as I'm convinced it's valuable.
       
       ## Writing and reviewing code
       
       Programmers who enjoy writing operating systems are naturally always
       welcome. The team would appreciate your skills on the base system,
       kernel, userland.

       There is also place for volunteers willing to help at packaging and
       maintaing software up to date in our ports tree.

       ## Use the development version
       
       Switch your systems to the branch -current and report system or
       packages regressions. With more users testing the development version,
       the releases are more likely to be bug free. Why not join the

       It's also important to use the packages regularly on the development
       branch to report any issue.

       Try OpenBSD on as many hardware as you can, send a bug report if you
       find incompatibility or regressions.

       ## Documentation
       
       Help maintain documentation by submitting new FAQ material to the
       misc@openbsd.org mailing list.
       
       Challenging the documentation accuracy and relevance on a regular basis
       is a good way to contribute for everyone.
       
       ## Community
       
       Follow the mailing lists, you may be able to help answer questions from
       other users. This is also a good opportunity to proofread submitted
       changes proposed by others or to try those and report how it works for
       you.
       
 (HTM) The OpenBSD mailing lists
       
       Form or join a local group and get your friends hooked on OpenBSD.

       Spread the word on social networks, show the project under a good
       light, share your experiences and your use cases. OpenBSD is definitely
       not a niche operating system anymore.
       
       Make a case to your employer for using OpenBSD at work. If you're a
       student, talk to your professors about using OpenBSD as a learning tool
       for Computer Science or Engineering courses.
       
       ## Donate money or hardware
       
       The project has a constant need for cash to pay for equipment, network
       connectivity, etc. Even small donations make a profound difference,
       donating money or hardware is important.
