Hi Bruce and welcome to the project :) If your looking for something to work on, then targeting some bugs in Rhythmbox or Nautilus from the link Timothy sent would be a good place to start given your experience with C. Those apps are written in C so you will have less of a learning curve with those ones than you will with some of the others. Actually, any app written in GTK, the graphical application toolkit that most Ubuntu apps are written in, will be up your street.
As Tim said, if you have any questions then please don't hesitate to ask them here.

Not sure how much you know about papercuts but basically we target small issues (although they can be deceivingly complex) for a selected bunch of projects each release. You can see the bugs we have targeted for this release here: https://launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/raring Basically as a developer you can pick a bug you like assign it to yourself and start working away. If you get stuck or have further questions, want help, etc just reply to the papercut ninjas email list once you have signed up. Hope this helps, Tim ------------------------------ *From:* Bruce Pierson <[email protected]> *To:* Timothy Arceri <[email protected]> *Sent:* Friday, 8 February 2013 1:24 PM *Subject:* New user and contributor Hello, I've been an avid Mac user for several years, but have been intrigued by the growth of the open-source movement and want to contribute! I'm an experienced scientific-c programmer and would love to debug for the Ubuntu program. Based on what I've read a good starting place was here. I thought I'd say hello and ask for any general information for new contributors.
