The design team is involved with developing art work and I think some user
interface design. It isn't what most people consider development. So
this may or may not be the best place for you to start. What kinds of
things do you want to do?

Ashwin,

Have you looked at join.fedoraproject.org?

The design team does exactly that: design. Their wiki page[1] describes
their activities. Have you looked at it yet?

While it's great to see that you'd like to contribute to Fedora, it'd be
a lot easier for you to get started if you did a _little_more_homework_
and found the correct channels to communicate with us in. Posting to a
random mailing list will not get you the answers that you want. The
design team does not deal with C coding, and cannot answer your
questions. They can tell you how to join the design team, and they have,
but that's not what you're looking for. :)

We've set up a completely separate channel where you can clarify your
doubts on where to get started too[2]. Please subscribe to and use the
correct channels. Proper communication is very very important.

To answer your question:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel#Contributing_to_the_Fedora_kernel

We don't do a lot of application development. We *package* applications
and make them available to users. More info here.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers?rd=Pa...

If you have more queries, please talk to us at the Fedora Join SIG :)

Normally for that you'd want to work in the upstream projects rather than 
Fedora. There is some software for which Fedora is upstream, though I am 
not sure hoiw much of that is written in C. You could see if the 
infrastructure team has any projects written in C that need maintenance 
or that they are looking to add features to.

Otherwise I think you'd be better off looking for an application you use, 
that is written in C (or perhaps C++) and work with the upstream project.

Hi Aswin,

I suggest to look for Richard Hughes, who has running several project
parallel, and most of them, like the Gnome Software center are using C - He
will be really proud to have you on board.

@Richard: Maybe Aswin can be your sidekick. Please contact with him
