Hi Shaigan,

The first step would be to review the coding [1] and non-coding [2]
projects we have listed, and see if anything is interesting.

Once you have done, the next step would be to contact the mentor
listed on the project listing, and ask them what small contribution to
that project you could do. (A small contribution to a given project is
a prerequisite for applying to OPW.)

If you have any questions, or run into any issues, feel free to reach
back out to this mailing list.

Thanks,
Brian
