A good way to get started is of course to start using Guix(SD), and then to contribute new packages.=C2=A0 The =E2=80=9CDefining Packages=E2=80=9D s= ection of the
manual should help get you started, and then people on #guix on IRC and
on the help-guix@gnu.org mailing l= ist will be happy to help.

Our bug tracker at <https://bugs.gnu.org/guix> has some items exp= licitly
marked as =E2=80=9Ceasy=E2=80=9D (though probably too few of them), which y= ou might
later want to look at.

Welcome, and happy hacking!=C2=A0 :-)
