Hello. I am new to open source. Could anyone here please help me get started?

Of course! Welcome to the Fedora community. I'm sorry your e-mail got stuck in moderation - you must subscribe to the mailing list before you post if you want your mails to reach the mailing list.

Free and open source software refers to software where the user has complete freedom - to do as he pleases with software. As this page says[1]:

"Free software" means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, "free software" is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of "free" as in "free speech," not as in "free beer". We sometimes call it "libre software" to show we do not mean it is gratis.

Most people simply think of open source as software, the source code of which is freely available. Sure, that is one aspect, but there's more :)

Now that I've sort of summarised the philosophy of free software, we move to the second part - how does one contribute to the free software community. Simply put, you write something and make it available to the community under a good license. This could be code or artwork and so on. The Fedora community does quite a bit of this - the design team creates artwork, the package maintainers package free software and make it available to users, the infrastructure team writes a lot of applications that the community uses and so on.

What are you interested in? :D

Utkarsh,

Also adding thyself to the `fi-apprentice` list would get you in the loop there. Use the link Gabri gave to setup a FAS acct and request membership into fi-apprentice.
