Request for a mentor

[Anirudh Jain <sp...@gmail.com>]

I am currently pursuing Integrated Masters of Technology in Mathematics and
Computing from Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad. I am proficient in
basics of Java and data structures. I am looking to start working on
development software too and given my love for all things open source,
Apache community seems an ideal place to start.
I went over the various projects under development by apache community, and
despite my enthusiasm to contribute I find myself very confused about how
to take the first step.
I would greatly appreciate if I can find a mentor which would help me so I
could begin my first steps.

Regards,

Hi Anirudh!

great to see you're interested in Apache. I think the first
question to ask yourself is this: what area of technology
are you really passionate about?

Thanks,
Roman.
