Hi, |
| 2 |
I think google can help you making the first steps. There are many |
| 3 |
efforts to recruit new open source contributors. |

You will find many documents like this: |

But if you are as lazy as I am, you will just browse to you favourite |
| 17 |
open source tool and begin evaluating the bugtracker. |

|

Another way is to simply use your linux and the software on it. You WILL |
| 20 |
find TONS of bugs, or missing features in it. Just implement and fix |
| 21 |
them and then post your patches to upsteam! ;) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This is the way I do. :) |

Happy coding! :D |
