Hello, friends.
�
��� First of all, sorry my english.
I must practice a lot before I feel sure I'm writing correctly. So, please, sorry any mistakes.
��� Let me introduce myself. My name
is Luciano Barcellos, I live in Brazil and I work with software development�since about�10 years ago. Now I use Delphi (version 5), although I�have a good practice with�C language�and a small experience with i386 assembly.
��� I'm very interested on
FreePascal and Lazarus project. I've got the source tree of both ones from CVS and I'm just getting started on it all (CVS, WinCVS,�freepascal, and Lazarus).
��� My experience with Linux is
almost zero. I have it installed on my computer, I've tested some softwares, mainly the games :-) , but nothing so exciting besides that. I even didn't configure�my ISDN connection to Internet�yet. I hope I'm going to do that someday.
��� I'm writing this message because
I would like to know what can I do for help the Lazarus project on my free time. And what documentation should I have contact with for being able to help. Maybe one of the answers shoud be "install and try Lazarus first". Yes, because I didn't finish the installation yet. Actually, as I've said, I've just downloaded the CVS tree, and I'm still going to compile it on my Windows 98. Hope it works!! Well, you will know. :-)
��� I have some other questions,
too: appoximatedly, how many people are we on this list? And how many people on Lazzarus team?
��� Well, that's all for now. I'll
be back!
�
��� Best regards,
��� Luciano
