Hi,

I'm interested in helping the team. How much free time do you need? :-)

I've been using Debian for a few years now, I have good programming
skills and I'm studying Infosec, so i'm very interested in the
subject. I've been eager to help improve Debian but I don't now where
to start, and haven't had much free time to go through the regular
developer channels.

Of course, in the first few weeks I would need guidance on what and
how do to things to get up to speed. I would prefer a lighter and
easier job to begin with, such as working in the security tracker or
preparing debian security advisories.

Please let me know if you are interested.

Regards,
Pedro
