Hi Ross, I have gone through the filters that you have already sent me.I'm interested to work on issues which is suitable for beginner. As I mentioned earlier, my interest is to get hands dirty in project related to web services or message queues.I fond of those technical areas.
I was trying to getting familiar with Apache ActiveMQ and Apache CXF recently but it is at basic stage.I would be very exiting to hear if you could arrange a way to approach those communities or any other web services project community .
