Because making a difference is easy
Because IPFire is an Open Source project, the users and the community are the foundation of it. Voluteers keep the project running and spend their time improving IPFire - every single day.
We believe that a strong community is the first step to create a successful project. Every day, people from all around the world are working together and making IPFire as awesome as it is today.
Besides development, there is a significant amount more to do in a project. There are groups which care about helping beginners to get started with IPFire, or people who write documentation & coordinate translations.
The first steps everyone who wants to get involved should do are:
Development is the major task of this project.
