Opensource / Job

Hello all, i am new to this list I have been to the channel at freenode, ##php and they told that the current official channel for PHP developers was here, using the mailing lists I have been a developer for about 11 years and been using PHP about five Today i am looking for a job that can be done in my own environment and i thought that contributing to opensource projects could be a good possibility, if there is that possibility of course, because i am not sure if this is being done and what are the requirements to be able to apply for this The reason why i am posting here, in a PHP mailing list (internals list), is that i do believe about this language, its future, and i really enjoy programming in it because it remains simple, very similar to C and flexible If any of you could tell me how can i try to contact somebody for this kind of job i will really appreciate your help, since i do not know nobody working in this situation Best regards, Fernando Gabrieli
