Contribute to Foresight
There are many ways to get involved and help out with Foresight Linux. Project participants encourage all levels of involvment, and this page describes just a few of the ways you can get involved and help make Foresight even better.
IRC and Email
One of the easiest ways to learn more about Foresight, and to help out, is to participate in the #foresight IRC channel at irc.freenode.net or on the Foresight mailing lists. The more enthusiastic users we have on each, the more everyone can learn and share from each other, and the stronger the Foresight project can be. See the Support page on this site for more information about participating in Foresight IRC and email.
