Become a Developer

If you like programming, and especially coding on FreeBSD, we would love to see you join the PC-BSD Team[1] as a PC-BSD committer. Developers who want to help improve the PC-BSD codebase are always welcome! If you would like to participate in core development, subscribe to the developers mailing list[2]. Once you have signed up, feel free to browse the active TODO list, or search for bugs that need fixing in the PC-BSD Trac database[3]. If you see something that you want to work on, or have a proposal for a project you wish to add to PC-BSD, please let us know via the developers list and we will be happy to help get you started.

Most of the PC-BSD specific GUI tools are developed in C++ using the QT Libraries, and other non-GUI development is done using standard Bourne shell scripts. There may be cases where other languages or libraries are needed, but those will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, so feel free to let us know your proposals on the developers mailing list.

Developers will also find the following resources helpful:
