Friends.
Most of us will be getting requests from college students for the
topics and mentor-ship for their projects.
For any student, to do some project in the open source world, he/she
needs to learn some basic things like
Linux Installation
Connecting with internet
Joining Mailing lists
Creating filters for mailing lists
Mailing list guidelines
IRC tools and Joining in Channels
Choosing a suitable Project
Learning the language like c,c++,Python,Perl,Ruby,LAMP,Web,Java technologies
Revision Control Systems like svn, git
Documenting the code
and more.
Though they can learn by themself, if we mentor them in the initial
stages of the FOSS contributions,
Their progress will be quicker and they will get more interest to contribute.
Please add your details here.

We can help students from get in the project and till they start
discussing with main stream project developers.
we can mentor them by online media like mail,chat,irc etc.
We can share this link to the college students so that they can choose
their mentors and start contributing.
Share your thoughts.
Thanks.
