the work · join the crew
Join the Crew.
Odyssey is my creature. It carries my technical vision, my sense of style, my long-term goals. I built it alone in one year and it will keep being led by me. I am the founding father of Odyssey.
Don't misread this. You are not my servant. You are a person who wants to help me, and who understands the hierarchy of this project — because that is what makes a project work.
In my life I have learned that human beings tend to push past their place when the boundaries are unclear. So I set the boundaries early: I lead, you help. Within that, we respect each other.
what this is
Odyssey is a crew. Not a company. A crew.
Some people give their financial contribution. Some keep the community alive and bring others in. And some give their technical contribution — that is where you come in.
A few hours a week, regular and predictable. So I am not the only one watching the repo, the server, the inbox. So if I get sick or burn out, something keeps moving.
01 · co-maintainer
Help with packages and PRs.
A few hours a week. Some upstream checks, a build here and there, the occasional patch review. Not to carry the technical weight — just so I know I'm not the only one watching the repo.
02 · forge admin
Keep Forgejo running.
Updates, backups, the occasional issue. Small load — maybe an hour or two a week on average.
03 · siteops
Watch the forum, mail, sites.
Half an hour a day if you can. Spam check, email triage, the occasional small fix. Light hours but daily presence.
bonus · designer
If you get the Odyssey language.
Not a requirement — but if you are good with visual design and you genuinely understand the Odyssey aesthetic, I would be happy to talk. Free contribution, no pressure.
how to reach me
One email to team@odysseylinux.org.
Tell me who you are in three lines, what you think you can give, which role you fit. I decide from the email.
One last thing. I am direct — please never say "maybe" or "let's see" to me. I want a clear no, or a friendly yes.
I am punctual. 8 AM UTC on Wednesday June 10, 2026 means 8 AM UTC on Wednesday June 10, 2026. But I am not a robot — 30 minutes late, no problem. A real unexpected issue, no problem. Just don't make me sit and wait, because I will tell you to fuck off.
And I do not debate the project's vision.
If I sound too rigid, that is the signal we are not made to work together — and that is fine.
