I've been lurking on this list for a little while now, have been
toying with BeOS for a couple months, and have been interested in
Haiku's development. I have a dual Pentium-II 400 at home, dedicated
to playing around with BeOS R5 Pro. I've got around 35GB of disk space
on the system, which can be repartitioned as needed. I'm not much of a
programmer (I can do some scripting in Perl and have had experience in
the past with PHP and Python, and I've played around in Java, C, and
x86 assembly but never written anything of substance in those
languages), nor am I highly experienced with BeOS in particular, but
I'm definitely interested in learning more. I *am* an experienced
Linux and OpenBSD user, a free software enthusiast, and an OS
tinkerer, in the sense that I like to set up and play around with
different OSes. If you just need someone to run a build daemon, I
think that's something I can do, and hopefully I'll learn more about
BeOS, Haiku, and programming in the process.

If more experienced and knowledgeable people are available, great, but
if it sounds like I can be of use, let me know.

Back to lurking...  =)
