We're Looking For LQ ISO Maintainers
 

Do you enjoy keeping up with the latest Linux distributions? Would you like to help LinuxQuestions.org? We're looking for a few members interested in helping to maintain LQ ISO ( http://iso.linuxquestions.org ). Your main task would be adding new distribution versions and mirrors to the site, but we have some additional functionality coming along soon. If you're interested in helping, please let us know in this thread. I'd also like to take time to thank Bill who has been helping maintain LQ ISO for many years and has done an absolutely great job at doing so. Thanks for the dedication Bill.

UPDATE: Please see http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post5264412 for additional information. If you have any specific questions, feel free to post them.

I am interested, but not to sure if I have the equipment and aptitude to be of much assistance.

Thanks,

Gary

Hi,

I might be able to help.

Cheers,

Evo2.

i would like to know more details.

I am willing to help but not really sure that I have enough knowledge to be of help. Please give me more information. Thanks, Harold

Add me to the interested pile

I'm in, if you still have room.

What they said.

I think I have the necessary time and materials to help with the work. Count me in, and let me know if there are requirements beyond a dedicated broadband connection, and a few computers running Linux, (Fedora 20), Win7 Home Premium and Win7 Professional. One DVD burner, no massive storage on-site, but something tells me you don't need all that anyway...

Add me to the interested pile would be more than happy to donate some time

I'd be happy to help. Been using Linux of various flavors since 1995-ish.

I think I can help however I need more information

Keep moving this information
 

Its time to help other people. :hattip:

Yup, I think I could do this.

Dear Jeremy,
I would like to help, I am not sure where I would be useful. I like trying out new versions and hearing other people's opinions of them. I have recently changed from Ubuntu to Mint. Yours rpalmer

i will be glad to offer any assistance required.interested indeed.

Count me in, I do it

Count me in too.

Always happy to assist where possible...all the best, Ian

I am willing to help but not really sure that I have enough knowledge to be of help :scratch:

I will be glad to assist in this.
In any way I can :-)

In principal, I am willing to help, but need more information.

Due to life/workstyle, I'm not always available.

I also would like to help.But,actually I'm not sure how it is possible?
I use Linux and want to keep using it more.I don't know too much on details of distributions but is there any tchnical task?

Dear sir
Thanks for giving me opportunity and showing confidence in me....but please accept my apology as right now i am little bit busy with other task...Definitely in future, i would like to work for this forum.
regards

Please send more information and requirements.

I'm interested in helping, but not really sure what is required. I went and looked at the CentOS section. I see it listing three mirrors. On the CentOS official web page there are many, many mirrors. Why would LQ maintain its own list of mirrors instead of just providing a link to the CentOS mirrors page? I guess I'm not really clear on the purpose of the web page and what our services would be.

Yes!!!
 

Thank you, looking forward to contribute

I have limited abilities in this area!

However, I always download via bit-torrent, so I don't need to know what is the fastest server.

I'm your huckleberry. Any more info on this?

Definitely what they said. I'm interested, but need to know more about what you need.

Please count me in.

Jesus Matos

Thanks for the interest. Some additional information:

Responsibilities for this duty would include adding new distros, new versions of existing distros, and mirrors to existing distros. We'd like to make sure that new distribution versions are added quickly when they come out, as that's when the demand is highest. We'd also like to increase the number of mirrors included for most of the existing entries. The job is one that is almost entirely self led, although we're happy to help with any questions you may have. While a huge amount of time is not required per week (1-2 hours would be plenty), we are looking for people who are interested in doing this for the foreseeable future. It takes a little while to get up to speed on how things should be done, so high turnover is not desirable. There is also some attention to detail required, as we want to avoid duplicates, errors, etc. In addition to helping keep things current, you'd also be able to have a considerable amount of input into the design and functionality of the site. If this still sounds like something you'd be interested in, please contact me via the Contact Form. From there we'll select interested members. LQ ISO has facilitated over 50 million Linux downloads and it's great to see the interest level here.

Hi Jeremy

I can help, using Linux since Slackware 1.0 I think. I'm also a developer and consultant.

Kind regards
Andre

Please consider my application:
I have been building/using PC's since the first 8088's hit the market. While I am physically disabled,
there is nothing wrong with my brain. I have "some" experience in all areas involving PC's. The projected time involved is not a problem. And I welcome the opportunity to help Linux, which I have been using since ~1997, in any way that I can. Whatever I need to learn, I will absorb!

Thank You,

Maintenance
 

Would love to help. Don't know if my skill set would be adequate or not.

Hi Jeremy,
I am interested but i want to know the pre-requisite knowledge that i require to have on my set of skills for this.

With regards,
Sudlin

Not sure of the level of expertise you need, but I will try to contribute.

Best regards
John

I would be more than happy to contribute wherever I can. Please sign me up.

For those asking for more information, please see: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post5264412

I've updated the first post with a direct link.

I can help. :)

Ok, guys I'm new here, but a long Linux user, having set up a server ( with httpd god help me ) on slakware with kernel 0.98.0 while I was teaching at a local tech school.
went into hibernation while I was working with less Linux use than I should, but back with a vengeance now that I'm retired, and a constant visitor to distrowatch.

The one odd dist I can think off off hand is BBQ Linux, a live with as I remember 78 selections of window manager ON the DISK! (in the iso) 8|>

And would be happy as can be to play with downloading and updating whoever I can help

tnx \

Jeremy
I'm definitely interested in the following:
Many system-level mouse button Unify
Graphics programs: Inkscape, Gimp, Blender, Xara, etc mouse button to unify
WACOM TABLET AND PEN button settings (currently too complicated and confusing, the programs react differently, only three useful buttons 10)
Otherwise, congratulations to Jeremy, very good questions have for some time.

Hi,

I am interested. It is my pleasure.

Dicky
