</div></div>If you're looking to specifically contribute to nouveau (nvidia<br>
open-source drivers), you should take a look at<br>
<a href="https://trello.com/b/ZudRDiTL/nouveau" target="_blank">https://trello.com/b/ZudRDiTL/nouveau</a> for some things we've identified<br>
as todo's, and also join us in #nouveau on <a href="http://irc.freenode.net" target="_blank">irc.freenode.net</a> (the<br>
channel can be quiet at times, so if no one's there, don't despair :)<br>
).<br>
