Hello Girish, Derby welcomes students to the community. The normal process for people to get involved and contribute code is to join the derby development commmunity, submit contributor license agreements, and submit incremental patches for the work. All the while the students will be able to discuss and get feedback from the Derby development community during the process.
If there is some large chunk of existing work that you want to contribute then I think that would involve a grant which I don't know too much about, but is much more complicated I think and involves lawyers. From a Derby community perspective might be tough to digest all at once especially if it touches a lot of existing code. I am hoping you and your students are just getting started with your work and fall into the first category. I would suggest that you read about the community [1] and subscribe to the derby developers list [2] if you have not already. Assuming it is all ok with IBM, approach the list regarding the technical details of the improvements you and your students would like to make. I look forward to hearing you on derby-dev.
