Hi Dhyaneshwar, First of all Welcome to the community. Showing interest in community development is the first step of contribution. Thank you for that :)
Now for your question- Well you should first select a project and drop a mail on the project's mailing list. This should be the first step - To find a project that you would LOVE to work on. You can always work on multiple projects as well. The contributors of the project would be the best people to help you out with further steps. Hope it helps. Feel free to ask more questions otherwise :) Helpful Links- 1. http:// <http://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html>apache.org <http://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html>/foundation/ <http://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html>how-it-works.html <http://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html> 2. http:// <http://community.apache.org/newcomers/index.html> community.apache.org <http://community.apache.org/newcomers/index.html> /newcomers/ <http://community.apache.org/newcomers/index.html>index.html <http://community.apache.org/newcomers/index.html> 3. http:// <http://community.apache.org/gettingStarted/101.html> community.apache.org <http://community.apache.org/gettingStarted/101.html>/ <http://community.apache.org/gettingStarted/101.html>gettingStarted <http://community.apache.org/gettingStarted/101.html>/101.html <http://community.apache.org/gettingStarted/101.html> 4. http:// <http://apache.org/foundation/getinvolved.html>apache.org <http://apache.org/foundation/getinvolved.html>/foundation/ <http://apache.org/foundation/getinvolved.html>getinvolved.html <http://apache.org/foundation/getinvolved.html> 5. http:// <http://apache.org/index.html#projects-list>apache.org <http://apache.org/index.html#projects-list>/ <http://apache.org/index.html#projects-list>index.html#projects-list <http://apache.org/index.html#projects-list> - Via mobile.
