Hi Yukti, Your message from october seems to have gone unanswered -- sorry about that. The general approach in KDE is that you don't need to ask for permission -- just do it. That means that it's also best to "scratch your own itch", which means fixing something in a program that you personally use. Many of us got started that way. The KDE Community wiki has a getting-started / get-involved page: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved This can help you figure out what kind of participation you want. For coding things, get a development environment set up (in whatever OS you like), clone some git repositories, and start building. That's not the easiest way to get started, but it's effective for starting code contributions. There's conf.kde.in in Delhi early in 2020, if you can travel and want to meet KDE people, that's a possibility. [ade] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Lots of us are not "sirs" and we're not very formal. I see that Nate quickly replied with some details. I'll add a note about using email lists: you will want to subscribe so that you don't have to wait for the list admin to release your post to the list. See https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community for how to do that. Welcome! Valorie -- http://about.me/valoriez - pronouns: she/her
Re: Requesting for guidance
Please feel free to! First you should set up a development environment, as described here: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Ways_to_contribute Once you have things compiling and running, you'll want to choose some tasks. Hopefully you are using some KDE software already. In this case you likely already have some ideas for what could be improved or you've found some bugs which need to be fixed. If not, here are some lists of bugs that need fixing: https://community.kde.org/Goals/Usability_%26_Productivity#How_you_can_help Good luck! And see https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved for more general information.
