Hello Umang,

I'm glad that you're interested in contributing to Gnome!  The best place to 
start is by reading the Gnome Newcomer's Guide:

https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Newcomers?action=show&redirect=GnomeLove

The Get Involved page also has some help:

https://www.gnome.org/get-involved/

Start small by making a documentation contribution or verifying bugs and then 
expand into code once you understand how the community works.

Hi all,

I want to contribute to open source and for this I have selected GNOME for this 
purpose. I am a student in CS,can code in C,C++ and python and have studied the 
algorithms taught in any undergrad course.

My question - How I can contribute ? I know this is very broad question, let me 
narrow it down.

I searched about GNOME main ideas. I know GNOME has many projects but main idea 
revolves around desktop environments. I started out with GTK(some coding). All 
I know now is GTK is used for developing interfaces for applications. I don't 
have any application now.. Can I still contribute without getting in depth with 
GTK.  Please suggest.

Also I am getting started with fixing some bugs. But in the later stage I want 
to contribute a feature. That's the real contribution right ? So what are the 
GNOME projects with are quite simple to start with ( implementing a feature ) 
for a beginner.

Also, I know you are experienced people. Please tell me straight to the point 
that this is wrong/right. I am ready for hard work and learning but GNOME is so 
matured that it is over-whelming for a beginner for me.

Thanks.
