What We Need (Right Now)

- People with Linux and/or networking knowledge (Don’t worry BSD sysops, we need and <3 you too).
- Developers, tinkerers, amateur radio operators, and engineering-types to help build and shape the network.
- People interested in community outreach; go to local events and spread the word!
- Community ambassadors, checkout the Next Steps section of the State of the Network page.
