  13 We are proud of our talented and diverse [team](current_members).

  15 # How Can I Help?
  16
  17 If you would like to fund us, see [[funding]]. We currently have some funding and always appreciate more!
  18
  19 If you want to write code with us, keep reading.
  20
  21 1. First, join the
  22 [mailing list](http://lists.libre-riscv.org/mailman/listinfo/libre-riscv-dev),
  23 introduce yourself, and read through
  24 [recent posts](http://lists.libre-riscv.org/pipermail/libre-riscv-dev/)
  25 and the [[charter]].
  26
  27 2. The next thing you should do is read through the [bugs
  28 list](http://bugs.libre-riscv.org) and see if there are any bugs that
  29 pique your interest.
  30
  31 3. After that, go ahead and take a look at the resources section below.
  32 Try and clone a repository with ``git clone https://git.libre-riscv.org/git/repositoryname.git``
  33
  34 4. If you plan to do HDL work, you should familiarize yourself with our [[HDL_workflow]].
  35
  36 5. We do have funding available (see [[nlnet]]) upon completion of issues -
  37 we are also working on procuring more funding which gets the project to
  38 nanometre scale tapeout.
  39
  40 6. After all this, if you feel that Libre-SoC is a good cause that
  41 you would like to contribute to, add yourself to the [[current_members]]
  42 page, fill in some information about yourself, and join the mailing list
  43 and say hello.
  44
  45 Also note that you can edit this wiki. See the last section of this page.

  47 ## Needed Skills
  48
  49 Most labor is currently being applied to developing the GPU portion of
  50 the Libre-SoC.
  51
  52 The highest priority needed at the moment is a c++ engineer to work on
  53 a MESA 3D driver. This will begin life similar to SwiftShader however
  54 retaining the vectorisation and predication intrinsics as well as hardware accelerated opcodes (all of which SwiftShader lacks)
  55
  56 Medium to long-term we need HDL engineers. Particularly those familiar
  57 with nMigen or just python.  Most of the techniques being used require
  58 software engineering skills (OO design, polymorphism) than they do more
  59 traditional HDL programming skills. Basically if you have experience in 2
  60 of the following you'll do fine: python, nmigen, verilog/VHDL/gate-level
  61 design. See [[HDL_workflow]]
  62
  63 Also, individuals with experience in formal mathematical verification
  64 are quite welcome.
  65
  66 TODO: add a list of upcoming project tasks/milestones (link to
  67 bugtracker).
