Want to Volunteer in Open Source Project

[sivakumar]

Hi,

I have long been a fan of open source development model and have
reaped considerable benefits from using linux. I want to get involved
with some open source projects which use Java. However, I am at a loss
to find where to start looking for such projects.

If anybody could let me know of some resources, I would really be
grateful.

Thanks in advance.

There's about 10000 projects listed there, so I'm sure you'll find at least
one to your liking

You might want to look at tigris.org , where they host projects like
ArgoUML. Contributing to such a project might be a very good opportunity
to educate yourself in new fields, like UML or software engineering.

HTH,

If you a have a PalmOS-based handheld device, I'm sure I could find
something for you to do over at the jSyncManager Project:

Here's where I started: http://jakarta.apache.org

Or, if you're feeling particularly ambitious: http://www.jboss.org

Hi everybody

Thanks a lot for the replies. Am planning on starting small by looking
for some project at sourceforge and see where things go from there.
