Contributing to a well managed, growing Open Source project is one of the best ways to learn Open Source technologies and improve one's technical skills.

Here you will see a list of select Open Source projects which we recommend.

• Linux kernel janitor's project
• FreeBSD project
• X11 project / Freedesktop
• Drupal (collaborative, content management framework)
• Ruby on Rails (web application framework)
• Firefox (browser extensions development)
• Postgresql (relational database)
• Apache project
• Gentoo Linux distribution
• KDE (kde4 project)

You may want to look up their website, see what needs help and directly start interacting with the project community on the mailing list or the IRC channel.

 If you need any help in discussing or scoping the project, please consider joining http://groups.yahoo.com/group/twincling and discuss with the community.
