How to join
Easy: do the work and add your name here, in any order you want ;-)
We love to help you!
openSUSE isn't the kind of community where there are rules or red tape, so if you want to do something, just doing it works best.
Of course we're all more than willing to help you, explain how things work and get you going. You can ask on IRC or any other communication channel (like our opensuse-KDE mailing list, which you can join [mailto:opensuse-kde+subscribe@opensuse.org by clicking here).
How to get started
A good page where you can find links and information on packaging is the Factory Portal page. In short, you collaborate with us by creating an account on the Open Build Service and then BURPing!
BURPing stands for Branch, Update and Request merging a Package. OBS works a lot like GitHub, where you make a branch of a package in your own home, modify it, test it, and create a merge request. The documentation on how to do this can be found on the Factory link above.
For development of C/C++/Python etc tools and such it's best to ask us directly.
Additions (optional)
