There are lots of ways to contribute to Debian: https://www.debian.org/intro/help > As a beginner, I am finding it difficult to get started. Often, new folks have something they want to do with Debian, find Debian is lacking in that area and start their contributions by improving that area. Other new folks might notice that the tools that they use or have an interest in are maintained by people that have requested help and start their contributions by helping there. Other new folks might start contributing to Debian through one of the paid or unpaid mentoring programs that Debian participates in. https://wiki.debian.org/Mentoring > I am familiar with Git, command line and I have no language preference(as I > believe lang is not a barrier for learning a new thing), but comfortable with > C/C++/python/Kotlin/Java. > I am currently using Arch Linux, and I am quite interested in all Linux > distributions and its working. > I have completed LFS(Linux from scratch) and currently doing BLFS(Beyond > LFS). I have done Android dev in my summer. Based on the things you mention, here are some things you could work on: The Java team would welcome help packaging Java libraries and Java-based applications: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/JavaPackaging The Android Tools team are packaging the Android SDK so that it is possible to build Android apps using only packages from Debian. They could use some help with this work: https://wiki.debian.org/AndroidTools I note that Kotlin is not yet in Debian and someone has filed a request for a package: https://bugs.debian.org/892842 > As of now, there is no specific project in my mind to work on.

If you want to start a new project, Debian has some ideas of things that might be nice to have: https://wiki.debian.org/Ideas -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
