Hi Kanika, and welcome to the CommOps team! Glad to have you joining us. :)
I'm a little late to respond and lots of others have already linked
fantastic resources or pointers for getting involved.
Thankyou Justin !!
== Diversity ==
If you're interested in the Diversity efforts within the project, I
definitely *also* recommend checking out the Diversity team. You can
find more information about the team at the following places. I also
recommend subscribing to their mailing list!
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Diversity
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/diversity@lists.fedoraproject...
Some of the work the Diversity team is doing includes the first-ever
Fedora Women Day, which happened a few weeks ago in July. There's also
plans on creating a survey to better understand our contributors and
their backgrounds to help create a better environment for the community.
There's also other plans coming down soon that you may be interested in
too. :)
I have subscribed to diversity mailing list, will be posting my intro soon. I have
conducted a new women contributor meetup on Hangouts to introduce them to FOSS and open
source and how can they contribute to Fedora. I too have written a [1]blog post about it
in community blog.

Awesome, this is great! You should definitely let the Diversity Team
know about some of the work you're doing and we can try to help you in
any way possible for organizing these events and bringing a little more
exposure to them.
I have your draft in the CommBlog and I'll be working on getting it
reviewed and scheduled very soon! Thanks for writing it up.
== CommOps ==
We could definitely use extra hands for feedback regarding the
on-boarding process for the different sub-projects in Fedora
(particularly Quality Assurance – we haven't worked our way to them yet,
but we also don't have a point of contact for someone who could offer
feedback and ideas for their process). You can see the grand, master
ticket for all things on-boarding here:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-commops/ticket/34
As for the rest, are there any other specific areas in CommOps that you
may be interested in contributing to? You can get an idea for the
different things we're working on here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CommOps#Things_we_help_with
I pretty much want to try everything, but for time being I want to go for Badges
requests, On-boarding via Fedora Hubs and Wiki.
Okay, great! The on-boarding discussions are something that we're
actively working on every week. The easiest way to see what kind of
things this means is by looking at our "tracker" ticket for all the series.
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-commops/ticket/34
A lot of these involve identifying steps in the process where we can
incentivize completion with badges. It's also helpful if we can identify
badges that could be applied to numerous different sub-projects as
compared to just one. But sometimes it does happen.
If you'd like, I can CC you on one of the upcoming series and you can
lend a hand with filing a ticket for a new badge. If you also have ideas
or suggestions on any of series, we'd love to hear what you think,
especially for something like QA, which you have a little bit of
experience with.
Also, if you haven't yet seen, our Join page may also be useful
for you,
but I'm pretty sure others have linked that already, so it might be
nothing new for you. :)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CommOps/Join
We have our weekly meetings on Tuesdays, 17:00 UTC (or 12:00pm US EST).
If you're available at this time, feel free to log onto freenode IRC and
find us in the #fedora-meeting channel. Soo, tomorrow! Feel free to come
by if you're around, we'd love to see you there. :)
I'd love to know what kind of things you may be interested in helping
with too. Hopefully all this info is helpful towards guiding you towards
something that interests you in contributing. If you have any questions,
feel free to ask here on the list or on IRC in #fedora-commops. We're
here to help! :)
Looking forward to seeing you around!
Ya sure, I am looking forward to join the meeting.
Thanks once again :).
