No matter if you are +a developer, tester, designer, or techwriter, your contributions are always appreciated. + +### Software Developers +We are always looking for people proficient in C and/or Assembly, especially familiar with tools such as Bochs, Qemu, +or VirtualBox. Writing an Operating System is not a beginner's task. In fact, writing an Operating System is usually +considered the most difficult programming task. Join the exclusive ranks of people knowing OSDev concepts, and yet +smaller ranks of people knowing the secrets of NT™ architecture. + +### Testers +No software is usable if it is found to be unstable. Writing an Operating System, is yet more complex task. Tester role +is responsible for assisting the development process by running [builds](/download) and providing a feedback. All and any +information about issues you encountered during this process can be +[reported](https://git.codingworkshop.eu.org/xt-sys/exectos/issues). The more detailed report is, the easier it will be +to fix it. At least basic knowledge in collecting information from a crash, like backtraces and knowledge of using +debugger will help you. + +### Technical Writers +As a team, we focus mostly on OS development. We are looking for some creative people to update and write documentation, +post content to this website as well as social media accounts to promote ExectOS. New web site design ideas and bug fixes +are as well welcome. + +### Community Manager +The ExectOS community keeps in touch via [Discord](/contact-us). Community Manager role is responsible to keep people +involved, keep discussions going and moderate.
