      Evangelizing & Raising Awareness

      OpenIndiana depends on volunteers and contributions, and the best way to get these is to raise our profile within the community. By blogging, tweeting, talking about, using and evangelizing, you can help the project grow.

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with OpenIndiana that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.
