*My experience:* For people wondering about how to start working on an open source project, a simple advice is "Start out!" Nothing else to tell (after Mr Chandan Kumar's detailed session)
I have had Mozilla Codebase sitting around in my system since April 2012 for no use. The only thing I never did was never to give up the idea that the next day would be better and I'd find out something to work on. At present, this is my activity: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&emailtype1=exact&emailassigned_to1=1&email1=shashank%40linux.com&list_id=10682361 Just because I have seen many questions from different people asking 'How to start/how to choose/what language to use', I am saying this: "Hold that interest which is in you now forever; there's no pride in giving up". As Mr Chandan Kumar was saying, [19:21:56] <chandankumar> After that by seeing my contribution in Openstack, as a job part and open source contribution, i feels proud and interesting to work in openStack > [19:22:09] <chandankumar> From here when i look back, > [19:22:16] <chandankumar> i found one thing. > [19:22:38] <chandankumar> if you have committed something to do , just do it. > [19:22:43] <chandankumar> it will pay sometimes > [19:23:00] <chandankumar> My open Source contribution helps me to reach here > > -- Shashank <http://about.me/shashank.computers> S.V.R.S.N.
