Sound like a good idea? Want to help build that stack? Are you a system/network engineer, software developer, QA, project manager? If so, then you are in the right place!

Once you have identified a platform component you wish to work on, please do the following:

1) [http://chili.thefnf.org/account/register Register] for an account on our [http://chili.thefnf.org/ project management system]. The account will need to be approved by one of our administrators (due to spam).

2) email contact@thefnf.org with the username that you picked and the project/area you would like to contribute to. Also give a brief overview of your skills and how you would like to contribute to the project. The list is moderated, but we approve things pretty fast. :) This will get you access to our dev list (builders) and our chili instance.
