Hello Ross,
Thank you for your reply . I do use apache products. The apache web server
being the foremost. However i am interested in a few projects like apache
traffic server , apache lucene and hadoop. I am interested in web
architectures and apache traffic server is one of the nice piece of code
that i would like to test. As explained by you i would go through the bug
list and try to find if i can be of help anywhere on any bug. In case i am
stuck anywhere i would try to find a mentor. And in case i still am not
able to find any help i may bug you. :) . But dont worry i would try to
keep it least as you already might have a lot of engagements. And thank you
again for replying back .

Kind Regards,
Shashi Shailaj

Hi Shashi,

I think its fair to say that every one of our projects could use your
help in testing.

To get the most out of your time in open source you should spend a
little time finding a project that is going to give you lots back.
Adding testing an Apache project to your CV is certainly a good thing
to do, but what do you want to get in return for your time? Is there a
specific area of technology you are interested in? Perhaps we have a
project that can benefit from the skills you already have whilst
helping you gather some new ones?
