I am new to Open Source world. I am working in a software company in Delhi. How can I contribute? Where should I start?

However we now have to carry the burden of ensuring that we produce many Indian contributors to Fedora in particular and FOSS in general. This means that our sessions have to be structured in such a way that it is easy for people to get in at the ground floor and the take the elevator up. Or in other words we should have enough low hanging fruits to encourage newer contributors. We are looking for capable community members who are willing to step up and help us achieve our objective. A possible agenda [3] and a probable list of workshops [4] is now being chalked out. If you desire to participate -- give talks or hold workshops -- irrespective of whether they are present in [3] [4] or not, we would encourage you to let us know what you have in mind. We want the agenda and workshops to reflect the preferences of the community. Please remember that our focus is on encouraging new contributors from India, and not on addressing the end-users. However that will not prohibit foreign nationals from giving talks or holding workshops as long they help us in bootstrapping members of the audience into contributors. So lets get the dice rolling...
