Hello Aishwarya,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your interest in our project! Most of the work will be
related to compiling Java and C/C++, but not all. The kinds of
things we work are:<br>
<br>
* Android Java programming<br>
* building and managing Java jars<br>
* C code and building with Makefiles<br>
* how Debian works<br>
* how to make Debian packages<br>
<br>
We do not expect you to have all of these skills, but you'll need to
be strong in at least two to be an effective contributor. And of
course part of this is about you learning new skills.<br>
<br>
Next steps for you are to look through the Android Tools team wiki
[1] to learn about the project and what needs doing, and to put
together your application based on the questions in the project
description. There is also a blog post [2] giving you a quick glance
at how to contribute.<br>
<br>
For putting together your application, you can see the applications
from previous years [3] to get an idea of what that should look
like. I see that you have applied for our project, did you put your
proposal somewhere so that we can take a look?<br>
<br>
Additionally, in order to be outstanding among other candidates, it
is highly recommended that you make some contributions, no matter
how big or small, to our project prior to the selection phase.<br>
<br>
Feel free to ping any of us in IRC when you have questions.<br>
