Hello guys, I've been answering a query regarding helpful resources that came through BaseALT company contact and thought the list to be worth posting here: --- There's a pretty minimal http://en.altlinux.org wiki and a way more extensive http://ru.altlinux.org one -- maybe these help a bit; there's also a (pretty quiet) English-speaking ML: http://lists.altlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/community-en and a Telegram channel of guys from Brasil (they speak English too, maybe it's the only non-Russian channel by now): http://t.me/alt_linuxBR; there's #altlinux-en on freenode but it seems even more quiet than community-en@. PS: maybe you'll find this intro book useful: http://altlinux.org/Books:Insideout -> http://heap.altlinux.org/alt-docs/compactbook/index.html (in Russian but should be autotranslateable) --- Ah, and we've finally created a sort of download centre site: http://getalt.org -- so it should be easier to find an image; http://distrowatch.com/alt has release announcements as well as helpful hints in some reviews, like this one: --- The download is 4.3G and will default to Russian. F2 after booting the live medium enables the English install option. --- You're welcome to participate in both community and the team, there were precedents already even if we understand that it's not that easy to participate in a Russian-speaking project while not reading the language; some folks are even willing to learn it during these last years, maybe this can help: http://learnrussian.rt.com/lessons/ There's no English section on http://forum.altlinux.org at the moment but it's not a problem to create one for those interested. >From Russia with love ;-) -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin / http://altlinux.org ------ http://opennet.ru / http://anna-news.info

Not sure about the borders now but maybe consider coming here or working remotely? I'm not much of a help regarding jobs outside Russia but right now I'm looking for another colleague to help with porting to ELbrus (http://altlinux.org/ports/e2k) and there are other positions open as well. Just in case, one of the job sites here is http://hh.ru; haven't dealt with freelance sites (only with the guys I knew already anyways), my understanding is that it's not that fast/reliable a path anyways. If I could figure out the way to pay, I could probably offer some sort of "small jobs" (mostly fixing C++ code). -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin / http://altlinux.org ------ http://opennet.ru / http://anna-news.info
