17:20.54tr_ABHIi am comfortable with c and c++ language...pls recommend me an org to go to
17:21.29fundamentaltr_ABHI: what steps have you taken to look through existing repos?
17:23.50tr_ABHIhello... i've seen a few of the orgs but they seem quite frightening although i am determined and excited to do this.... i looked into BOOST org which is about c++ libraries and fossasia and all... but i want to look in the projects that i can handle
17:25.11fundamentalWhat from your perspective makes a project easier for you to handle?
17:27.09tr_ABHIany project that helps me in gaining experience with c/c++ and that i can relate to... i mean anything that i can work with ; with my current knowledge
17:29.15teepeeI think the "can relate to" is quite an important point here
17:29.58teepeemaybe think about the software use use and see if there's any open source project written in c++
17:30.47fundamentalAgreed. It is helpful to be a user of the software that you're trying to assist.
17:31.05tr_ABHIthere is still sometime for GSoc and i want to be prepared for it and want to know a lot about Open Source...and what are the little steps that i should take as of now to get better at real life projects
17:31.20tr_ABHIfundamental got it
17:32.06tr_ABHIfundamental that makes one
17:32.32fundamentalIf you want to learn about the workflow of opensource in general, try to make a patch/PR/etc for a documentation fix
17:32.55fundamentalthat should show some of the process to how changes get integrated and don't immediately require much in terms of programming
17:33.45tr_ABHIgot it
17:34.24tr_ABHI"try to make patch/PR/etc for a documentation fix "  how??
17:34.39tr_ABHIhow should i proceed?
17:35.41fundamental1) find a project that you use 2) lookup to see if they have documentation on how to contribute to their project 3) find a small bit of documentation that can be improved/fixed 4) fix it and follow the steps found via #2
17:35.43tr_ABHI1. what skills should i have?
17:36.08tr_ABHIgot it...thanks
17:37.26tr_ABHIi use mozilla firefox and i happened to go through their contribution page somewhere ... but all i could find was some high level bug to patch to..that was totally out of my league
17:38.09fundamentalyeah, I would not recommend starting with a project of that complexity and if you do start with a project of that complexity, start with a non-coding task
17:38.28tr_ABHIokay
17:38.42tr_ABHIunderstood
17:39.39fundamentalI'm not recommending this project per say, but the last time I wrote up some "here's types of contribution" docs I made http://zynaddsubfx.sf.net/contribute.html
17:40.17fundamentalmany other projects will have more detailed documents based upon different roles
17:40.53tr_ABHIgreat...thanks for initiating me...
