Akshita: Can you subscribe to these three (3) mailing lists? (All are low traffic.): https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/openjump-users https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jump-pilot-devel http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/java-collab Let me know when you've had time to subscribe. Then I'll introduce you to the OpenJUMP developer list and we can talk about where you can start to help! Thanks.

Kindly guide me on how I can start and make my contribution. I look forward to a positive response from you. As Jody has said, individual OSgeo projects will be happy to take contributions. The procedure is normally something like: 1. Pick an interesting project or two from the list. I think PostGIS would be worth considering for your PostgreSQL skills, and maybe something Java-y if you did much java work for the JDBC thing (you don't state your language skills). 2. Download (binaries and source), use it, read the documentation. 3. Join project developers mailing list. Introduce yourself, then just lurk for a bit or read the archives to get a feel for the place. 4. Figure out where a contribution coud be useful. Developers are always happy to receive bug fixes, so that's a great place to start. Check the project bug tracker, find something that looks fixable. You'll probably at that point have to learn the project build and test procedure. That means the first thing you'll actually fix is the build and test procedure documentation. Documentation fixes are often as well-received as bug fixes. Translations, too, if you speak more than one language, are something many projects lack but are set up for. With a little preparation this can mean a contribution to several projects. Helping with translation isn't just a mechanical process, it does also require some knowledge of the project to translate correctly. 5.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Seeking guidance for contributing to OSGeo.
Hi, The first national FOSS4G conference is about to happen on this month 25-27. I think registrations are still open[1]. The conference is held at IIIT-Hyderabad, India. please see the program schedule [3] [1] http://lsi.iiit.ac.in/foss4gindia/ [2] http://iiit.ac.in/ [3] http://lsi.iiit.ac.in/foss4gindia/?q=tentative-program-schedule On Sun, Oct 14, 2012 at 8:38 AM, Jody Garnett jody.garn...@gmail.comwrote: Afternoon: OSGeo is a Foundation, as such there are lots of projects to look at. Perhaps one of them strikes your interest? If you are unsure where to start I recommend volunteering on the OSGeo Live DVD project (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc) which is a good introduction to what is available. Finally OSGeo does have individual chapters in each region - including one in your area (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/India). I recommend having a look at their activities, and introducing yourself on their mailing list.
