You are welcome Daivik. Its great to hear that you want to contribute
to open source organisations/projects. Just keep up the good job. We
shall give you all the help you need but you have to be patient when
you make a post on this mailing list so that someone can read and help
you on what you want.

Choose a project you are interested in so that you can start
familiarizing your self with the code base. Fix some bugs, write
patches and then explore the organisation with its members. Most of
what you need is documented online so ask intelligent questions.

For quick access and to talk to other members of the organisation,
