How you can help!
As with all Open Source projects, volunteers are at the core of
making it all happen! Even if you only have an hour or two here or
there or you don't know how to code, that's perfectly ok. There are
many aspects of an open source project and your talents certainly
can advance if not be critical to the project!
Please consider helping the team out by joining us on IRC. We hang
out on #gentoo-ppc64 on irc.freenode.net. All people are welcome.
