Hi all,
How are you guys doing? I have been working over at Ubuntu,
and currently I am one of the moderators of edubuntu (a deritive of
Ubuntu) and of Ubuntu start page. So I would like to get started with
fedora websites, how can I help out here. Thanks for your help on
getting started :D

Hi, Vikram - things are a bit slow right now because of the holidays,
but here are a few resources for getting started.
If you're an IRC user, we hang out in #fedora-websites in
irc.freenode.net. If you're new to IRC,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/IRC may be of help.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites#Join_the_Fedora_Websites_Project
points to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/Join - if you've
already seen this and the email you sent was part of working through
step #4, that's great! Knowing more about your skills (do you do
graphics, html, css, programming with web frameworks, webmastering,
etc?) and interests will help people point you in the direction of a
specific project to get started with.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/Meetings may also be helpful;
I'm not sure if we're having one this week because of the New Year, but
hopefully someone else on this list can chime in on when the next
meeting is going to be.
I might also take a look at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites#Projects and see if any of these
catch your eye; some projects are more active/recent than others. The
one I'm most involved with is Fedora Insight, but depending on your
background there may be others you might want to lend a hand with.
In summary, I'd suggest:
* telling us a little more about your skills and interests so we can
help you find a better match
* finding out when the next (IRC) meeting will be and whether you can
attend it - they're a great chance to ask questions.
* checking out the list of current projects to see if there's anything
you're particularly interested in helping with - some already have a
ticket queue set up, so you can just go in and grab a task if you'd like
to start with that.
Welcome!
