Prajwal, Not sure if you are subscribed to the mailing list or not, so I forward the response to you, just in case...
Let me also add to Antoine's response; Some communities are busier than others, and it can be overwhelming to join those. I recommend something smaller, where the email traffic isn't too much and the pace of progress is also not too rapid so that you can keep up. That said, the most important aspect is still something that interests you.

You should probably select one or two Apache projects that you feel are interesting for you, and start looking at the JIRA issues reported against them in issues.apache.org/jira and see whether some of the bugs or new features requested by our community are topics that you would like to work on. Each Apache project has a user and a dev mailing list which are the primary means of communication so joining these lists is the first thing to do. You can see a list of Apache projects under https://projects.apache.org/ . Hope this helps, Antoine Sent from my android device. -----Original Message----- From: Prajwal Shimpi <prajwalshi...@gmail.com> To: dev@community.apache.org Sent: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 5:01 AM Subject: Contribution Hello I am a student of third year engineering(computers).
