You might be trying to solve +a day job issue, you might be looking to learn a new technology or you might +simply want to do something fun in your free time. We don't care what your +motivation is we just care about you wanting to get involved. + +If you don't have a specific technical issue to solve you might be willing to +work on any project. Our [projects page][1] provides a useful index which +allows you to view projects alphabetically, by category or by language. When you view a projects detail page in this list you will find details of their +mailing lists, issue tracker and other resources. + +As well as our main projects you might also like to view our +[Incubating projects][2]. These projects work in exactly the same way as our top +level projects but are still developing their initial community. + +Once you've found some interesting looking projects join their mailing lists and +start lurking. Read the mails that come through the list. Initially you will not +understand what people are talking about, but over time you will start to +pick up the language, objectives, strategies and working patterns of the community. + + Finding an issue to work on + +If you are trying to satisfy a specific technical problem then you already know +what you want to work on, but if you are looking for something useful to do in +order to participate in an ASF project then the projects issue/bug tracker is your +friend (this will be linked from the projects home page or from its entry on the +projects page linked above). + +In the projects issue tracker you will find details of bugs and feature +requests the project would like to work with, this should give you some +inspiration about how you might be able to help the project community. If +you are looking for a beginner level issue try searching JIRA for issues +with the label GSoC or mentor, these are issues the community feel are +manageable for someone new to the ASF and their project. The community has +also indicated that they are willing to help someone work on those issues +through our [mentoring program][3]. + +## Joining the community + +once you have identified an issue you would like to tackle its time to join the +projects mailing list (if you haven't already) and get started. + +Remember, community members usually happy to help, but they have to get something +in return. The community needs to believe that you intend to contribute positively +to their work. There is a limit to how much hand holding you will get so be ready +to do some work if you expect to continue to be helped in your first foray into +open source. + +At this point you might want to request that someone in the community offers to +mentor you. See our [mentoring programme][4] for guidance on how to do this. + +Alternatively you can dive straight in and work with the community. Since you've +been lurking on the lists for a while by the time you have got to this point you +should have a feel for how to get involved, so go for it. + +# Further
