Hi Roopa,
Thanks for your interest! Most open source projects really on
contributors to find something they want to work on and fix it. A good
intro on areas where work can be done is here:

I think you'd specifically be interested in bug fixing and Ubuntu
maintenance. Ubuntu (and Debian) maintenance principals apply to
Edubuntu packages.
