Hello, I liked to what are the requirements for anyone to join a certain open source project? I have been studying python language and like to join some projects related to it to see how much did I really learn and also to know more about how a open source project works. As I have never worked on any such projects before I like to know where do newbies start for a project.
Thank you.
Shashank,
There is no induction process as such, you just have to take first step and lookup the roadmap and get on to mailing list and start working on it, send the code for review to the core Dev and if they like it they will update the code base. But major part is to be available either on irc or mailing list.

Well, we're always looking for contributions in ayttm, but it's mostly in C, so that probably would not match your skill set.

Go to http://sourceforge.net and get an account there. It's a perfect place to start contributing to FOSS projects. The idea is to pick up any application that interests you and see if you can improve it or find and fix any bug in it. Post patches in that project. There, you're a contributor.
Hello Shashank,
Register on sourceforge and search for the python projects. Most of the times, there you can see the requirements posted. You can choose from them.
With regards

None. Save the passion to contribute.

Kenneth Gonsalves's accounting program AVSAP uses python and needs developers. So checkout AVSAP and drop him a mail.

It does not need developers, it needs some one who knows accounts - anyway a far more exciting project of mine is this: http://xlquest.net/ the repository is here: http://bitbucket.org/lawgon/osmindia/ most of the development will be in python - web and scripting with a healthy dose of xml, C++ and all sorts of exotic stuff.

Also look at http://gnukhata.gnulinux.in GNUKhata is a project under development for a complete accounting and inventory management software. Almost all developres stay in Mumbai and generally work together.
Happy hacking. Krishnakant.

Try reading the pdf book from www.producingoss.com. It may help to know what mistakes not to make in an open source developer environment
