Hi Massimo, Welcome<br>
<br>
There's no volunteers programme or anything like that. For my own part I've found there's plenty to do that really requires little more than than a bit of appication and being prepared to find out for yourself. For example, there's value in triaging bugs in the issues database and turning them into smart bug reports. A surprising number of bug reporters haven't bothered to search upstream or the web and often things can be flagged to be put into upstream status after just doing a basic search.<br>
<br>
If you hanker for a bit of actually fixing bugs then there are bugs which can be fixed with no more than a plain text edtior, reading this [1], learning git, a bit of bash, command line and some sed. Assuming you know the basics of testing your patches yourself, which if you've got COBOL experience from the workplace will be second nature to you. Reading package maint-guide is helpful for the detail of the full manual package creation and maintenance process if you need to do more advanced things.<br>
<br>
Generally my approach is derived from the advice in maint-guide that you need the commitment to work it out for yourself and keep trying until you get it right. It is self evident that the actual Trisquel developers have even less time than the Debian ones to teach people the ropes. Just persisting with what you can do wih your own resources and being prepared to do the reading is more than most do.<br>
