Hi I want to contribute to the ASF Project. Though I went through the Apache Mentoring Programme and saw the list of the proposed projects, but I would like to first take up some small tasks which familiarize me with the Apache Code base and other related activities.
My Skills: 1) I am good at C, C++ and Qt 4.6. 2) I know Java but haven't done any major development work with it yet but I am brushing up my skills with it. 3) JSP (Intermediate Level) My motivation for contributing to ASF: Sometimes back, I thought of taking up a project to build something like Apache Tomcat. At that time I was not much aware of the FOSS philosophy. But in GSoC 2010 with KDE I got introduced to my first FOSS development experience. and hence I got motivation to try and contribute to the Apache Project. In addition to that, I have been using Tomcat and sometimes Ant for 8 months now (user level) and would really like to go ahead and be at the development end. Can anyone mentor me or guide me through this ? Thanks Yours Sincerely Siddharth Srivastava
