Hi Ross,
This is really helpful for me to proceed and getting touch with community.
I should have mentioned that not all projects have issues tagged in this
way. If this is the case for your chosen projects let us know and we'll
help you approach the community for support.

We can certainly try to team you up with a mentor. However, be aware our
mentors are not here to teach you to code. They, and the project community,
will help you get to grips with the project structure though.
Your first action should be to search for issues with a label of "GSoC" or
"mentor". These issues are ones that are thought to be appropriate for
someone at the start of their career.
Once you have found an issue you might want to tackle post them here and
we'll help you with the next step.

Hi All,
This question might be asked several time by different different people
who
do have interest being a apache contributor.I would like to ask this
question again. How can I get into Apache project as contributor ?. I
have
read the guide lines available in Apache website. They suggest to follow
the particular project that you are interested and use the software then
pinpoint where things can be improved.
When it comes to my point of view, all are true.But everyone is not at
same
level to follow those guide lines perfectly.In my case I would like to
join
to Java based web service project. I have tried several products. I feel
if
you need to find issues by your own at first hand it won't be that much
easy
since I'm not a well seasoned about the software.Other scenario is there
are
existing defects in JIRA they said you can work on those issues.
My point is product complexity matter for newcomers.I head that there are
mentoring activities happens in Apache.Probably it might be helpful for
me.How can I find a mentor if I like to work on existing bug ?.
I'm waiting for reply from great community.
Thanks
Nuwan Arambage
