Hello and welcome Griselda, Umang, Justin Apart of the links provided by Ahmet you might read Beam-related material on the website (See Documentation > Programming Guide and Documentation > Additional Resources among others).
But probably as important as improving your Beam related knowledge is to understand the principles of an open source project and more concretely the way the Apache projects work (in case this is your first Apache project), concepts like How projects are structured (PMCs, committers, votes, etc) and the most important ones Community over Code and Meritocracy. https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/asf_15_community_over_code Welcome all and don't hesitate to ask questions, we are all here to make this project better so for sure we can help.
