[OpenIndiana-discuss] Fw: OpenIndiana/Illumos Project

[Alexandre Borges]

Mrs. and Ms,

Good evening. Yesterday I sent an e-mail to Alasdair about my interest in 
contributing to OpenIndiana/Illumos documentation.

As I explained to him, I'm instructor at Sun/Oracle since 2001 in Sao Paulo, 
Brazil. I'm currently
writer and columnist at Linux Magazine Brazil where I wrote an OpenSolaris 
series (16 parts) (www.linuxmagazine.com.br) and,
unfortunately, I've stopped because I would be writing anOpenSolaris book. 
When Oracle started the changes, I'd to hold this
job too and, now, I would like to contribute with  OpenIndiana/illumos 
project.

I'd like to know if would be possible help you with the documentation of 
project. I noticed there is not leaders in the documention
project. As you know, my native language is Portuguese, but I think I could 
be useful in English docs too. Another alternative would be make
some tutorials.

Please, check my profile in linkedin (http://br.linkedin.com/in/aleborges) 
and twitter (@ale_sp_brazil) if necessary.

Thanks for your attention and have a nice day.

Alexandre Borges.

Hi Alexandre,

Many thanks for getting in touch!

Absolutely - we would love for you to get involved with documentation on the 
project. My recommendation would be to join our mailing lists and send an 
email there - unfortunately due to my time constraints I can't individually 
manage all the contributors, but there is some useful info here:

IRC is quite a good way to get involved as well. Someone on the mailing 
lists or on IRC should be able to set you up with a wiki account as well.

Cheers,

Alasdair
