New Contributor in the Ubuntu community/family

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Welcome Shiyam! You might also be interested in the ubuntu touch work. 
Specifically the core apps which are written in qml/qt. You can hack on 
the apps and help write / maintain the tests for them. Check out the 
wiki and please feel free to ask questions!

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps/Testing

There's a great community on g+, IRC and a mailing list for the core 
apps if they interest you.

No matter were you contribute, we are happy to have you on the team!

Welcome again,

Nicholas
