That's what I was trying to do to find a project to work, even as a
initial starting point to check the bugs at the ongoing projects but
from where can I find projects at Debian ? And how is it possible to
help developers with out knowing them ? These are the problems I'm
having ..

Think some body will help me and these are the places where we find
developers at net
Because these advocating process is bit confusing because , It's
impossible to start a new project at Debian alone
No place to find ongoing projects unless you mail people and get to know
them and get help from them

The advocate procedure didn't exist when I joined, but I'm prepared to
bet that if it had existed then the person I'd have asked to advocate me
wouldn't have lived in the same country as me, and I still haven't met
at least one of the people who'd have been a pretty good candidate for
me to ask. Well before I joined the project, I was communicating with
other developers and doing my best to get involved.
Also, I don't believe I've met any of the people I've advocated (unless
I'm forgetting somebody), and if they live in the same country as me
it's only by chance.
The only case where living close to other developers matters is for
getting your GPG key signed, and that can be worked around in extreme
cases. For everything else, forget about geography; you "meet" most
other developers via the net.
