Glad to hear it! BRL-CAD is a fantastic project and we're always open to new contributors.
The best place for a new developer to get started is usually to either pick a small piece of functionality or to simply fix a bug. After a couple patches, we can look at having you tackle a project with a little more substance. Becoming familiar with the code, tools, command, and source layout is generally an ongoing process for new contributors. It's a very large code base so you are encouraged/expected to ask questions to help you come up to speed. Please do interact with myself and the other developers and you're welcome to just jump in somewhere that interests you. There are literally thousands of potential projects that span just about every skill set. There is an IRC discussion channel on Freenode as well as a brlcad-devel mailing list. You should probably start by a) joining the mailing list or IRC, b) obtaining the source code from our subversion repository, and c) then reading our HACKING file. Feel free to introduce yourself (on the list and/or channel) and your background and interests. Hope to see you contributing soon! Cheers!
