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 to test 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! |

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. |

Those interested in contributing to this project, thing you could help with most is to simply start going through influx 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 in Discussion section. That would be the easiest way to start, followed by rest of my suggestions. |

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. |

Update: If you would like to discuss anything regardin auto-cpufreq or its development, please join auto-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 both Twitter and LinkedIn but it didn't get a lot of traction and no one reached out.
Considering project is open source over the time it had a lot of contributors, which have all been credited for their work but no one stuck around. Linux is constantly evolving space and there are always new issues and feature requests, and since I encourage contributing to the project, there's a constant influx of PR'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 implementing existing feature requests, next big feature I would need help with is to have it implemented as a GNOME 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
