Friends. Most of us will be getting requests from college students for the topics and mentor-ship for their projects.
For any student, to do some project in the open source world, he/she needs to learn some basic things like Linux Installation Connecting with internet Joining Mailing lists Creating filters for mailing lists Mailing list guidelines IRC tools and Joining in Channels Choosing a suitable Project Learning the language like c,c++,Python,Perl,Ruby,LAMP,Web,Java technologies Revision Control Systems like svn, git Documenting the code and more. Though they can learn by themself, if we mentor them in the initial stages of the FOSS contributions, Their progress will be quicker and they will get more interest to contribute. Please add your details here. http://wiki.ilugc.in/index.php?title=Projects_Mentors We can help students from get in the project and till they start discussing with main stream project developers. we can mentor them by online media like mail,chat,irc etc. We can share this link to the college students so that they can choose their mentors and start contributing. Share your thoughts.
