Hi all,<br><br>I also would like to contribute but need some advice on how to start. I recently graduated from college in computer science but didn't get a job in my field but would like to remain involved with computer science. I am currently learning and working with the bug squad but that is only triaging not fixing bugs yet. I have a little experience such as building web sites for previous job, and some semester long projects with small teams.<br><br clear="all">Eric S.
