FreeLists / beports / [beports] New to list

["scott mc" <scottmc2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,
I'm new to this list and beports.  I've started working on Haiku
ticket #1222 which is to check the packages included in Haiku to make
sure the copyrights that need to be included in AboutSystem are
included.  I noticed that a lot of the ones in the Haiku tree are also
on BePorts.  I'm not a developer (yet) but am watching to see where I
can help on on Haiku and other related side projects.  I've submitted
the first diff to update the AboutSystem.cpp file with some missing
copyrights, if anyone here sees any I missed feel free to let me know
which ones still need to be added and I'll include in it the next
round of updates.  If there's any specific things I can do to help out
with beports let me know what I can do.  I'm trying to get my laptop
back up and running with ubuntu so that I can setup a haiku build
system.  It's currently setup as a ubuntu64 machine which won't work
for building haiku.  Another option would be to use the vmware
developers image from haikuware.com as it already has all of the build
tools in place.
I attended the LUGRadio show in San Francisco this past weekend for
Haiku, and there was a lot of interest in the project.
