Hi, I think google can help you making the first steps. There are many efforts to recruit new open source contributors. You will find many documents like this:
http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/How_to_start_contributing_to_or_using_Open_Source_Software or this https://live.gnome.org/GnomeUniversity or this http://redmonk.com/dberkholz/2012/07/10/how-to-recruit-open-source-contributors/ But if you are as lazy as I am, you will just browse to you favourite open source tool and begin evaluating the bugtracker. Another way is to simply use your linux and the software on it. You WILL find TONS of bugs, or missing features in it. Just implement and fix them and then post your patches to upsteam! ;) This is the way I do. :) Happy coding! :D On 10/10/2012 03:45 PM, karan garg wrote: > Hi all, > > I have been an open-source enthusiast since 2010 and using Linux as my > operating system for last 2 years.
