Update: If you would like to discuss anything regardin auto-cpufreq or its development, please joinauto-cpufreq Discord server! At the time of writing this, auto-cpufreq has 2243 stars on Github and with such exponential growth it's hard to keep up with everything. Especially since I do its development and everything else that requires running one such project in my free time without any financial compensation. I announced I was looking for co-maintainers after project reached over 1000 stars on bothTwitter andLinkedIn but it didn't get a lot of traction and no one reached out. Considering project is open source over the time it had alot of contributors, which have all beencredited for their work but no one stuck around. Linux is constantly evolving space and there are always newissues and feature requests, and since I encouragecontributing to the project, there's a constant influx ofPR's to review. Hence I'm looking for (long term) co-maintainer/s and developers who would help with workload of project going forward. I will not leave the project and will stay in its lead. I will still help with the workload and help onboard new members and together I would like us to shape future of the project. In its current form auto-cpufreq is very stable and besides implementingexisting feature requests, next big feature I would need help with is to have it implemented as aGNOME extension. Please let me know if you're interested in improving Linux and helping the overall Open Source community by being part of auto-cpufreq! Adnan |

Hey Adnan, I've been following this project since almost a year and now it's part of my basic toolbox. I would love to help you maintain it with no financial expectations of course, the thing is that I'm just a real newbie with a lot of interest in Linux, Open Source and related matters. Basically, my knowledge is limited but my passion for improving and learning is huge. |

Hey@cristian158, thank you for your kind words and of course your help is needed. Also, participating in open source projects is a great way to learn new things 🙂 Most help would be needed with going through existing/new issues and answering questions in discussion section. Also having someone totest would be great, same thing goes for reviewing existing/new pull requests. Of course finally it would be to code some of the requested features and fixes. Let's start with these things and then we can take it from there:
After you get hang of these things, then let's talk about giving you contributor permissions so you can start labeling issues and even merging PR's without requiring anything from my side. In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions and/or comments! |

Hi, that's great to hear! I believe I explained it all inmy post above. I did the same with few other folks who were interested via email, but unfortunately I don't see that anyone did anything. Regardless, I think that should be enough to get you started and I'm here if you have any other questions in meantime. |

Those interested in contributing to this project, thing you could help with most is to simply start going throughinflux of new/existing issues which are reported and triaging them, as a lot of them are pointing to existing issue. Some of them are even including fixes which could easily be picked up and added to the code. Other easy start would just to be to answer questions asked inDiscussion section. That would be the easiest way to start, followed byrest of my suggestions. |

Would love to have you onboard, please check message above which I believe has all the necessary instructions/information.#436 would be an ideal bug to tackle. And as instructed above, handling incoming issues/PR's/discussion items would be the best way to start. Just your reply in#433 is a great step forward, so keep it up :) |

I have applied to this year's GSoC; if I do not get selected, I may work on the Gnome extension of this project. It will be enjoyable to implement. I have mainly skills related to Rust and a little bit of Python, and I have also been in the development of a Fractal project of Gnome. Still, do you recommend me something I can start learning? |

This project has been excellent. I did wonder though, would it benefit BSDs to have a tool like this? Or are they already lean enough on their own? I would bet that the 2nd question has some truth, the only thing being, it could be an advantage at some point. This isn't a huge issue, as of now, but it was a thought. |

I believe BSD has the same problem as Linux, hence having auto-cpufreq on BSD as well would be of great value. I would encourage you to give a try yourself and try to make acode contribution:) If you have any other question please join auto-cpufreq Discord server! |

Yeah, I figured that was the case. Btw, I detest discord and I barely tolerate discourse as a forum service too. As for me making contribution, I am not very well versed on making code from scratch or based on kernel type things. I usually need the whole thing lain in front of me due to my limited programming skills. If I had to guess, this would require getting a BSD dev's attention. I have noticed that FreeBSD has some guide for this. Its outdated tho. But other guides probably exist too. Anywho, bluetooth, ethernet, wifi when not used should probably always be disabled. Bluetooth is one of those things however I wish I could permanently disable on a hardware level. ;) Not secure and bloated like the blob monster from that really old cheesy film. :P "1958" |

Welcome! Basically everything Isaid above still stands how to get started. Only thing that changed is that now we have aDiscord community where you can ask questions, and I know you're already active there. Either way, fire away if you have any questions! |

For those interested in contributing to this project,there're are currently20 feature requests. I would advise you to go through these and see if there are any features you would also like to have yourself, as they could be interesting to work on. Currently there are at least 2 issues, created over 3 years ago which even havecode snippets that simply need to be turned into PR's, and they would solve numerous other issues that are linked to them. Example: |
