[Mesa-dev] Interest in participating in the OPW with X.org

[Peter Hutterer]

Hi Juliet,

sorry about the delay, thanks for the email. I don't personally work on mesa
so I'll wait if anyone on the list has a project to propose here.

One of the best ways to start is to build and run piglit and see if anything
needs fixing. That way you get familiar with the code-base and the
developers get to know you as well. Having a bit of a reputation from
sending patches is a good thing to have.
