Hello to all UBUNTU Users. I would love to get involved in helping the ubuntu project. I am interested in joining the coding section.
But I am new to coding, but fairly comfortable with linux, command line etc.,
I would love to contribute by way of code, so please guide me as to how I could go about.
I cannot code for kernel or other operating system level needs.
If there is any other are to which I could contribute code I would need your help and support
regards
Seems as if I don't quite understand your question. There are certainly more options to contribute than kernel development. Packaging software is one of it, which requires much less programming knowledge.
If I were you I would read the developer documentation
http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved/developers
and see what options are available to me.
I see you joined the Ubuntu Forums in 2005 but this is your first post so I must wish you a belated welcome. ;-)Quote:

As your Linux experience expands you can then participate further as detailed in the Get Involved link posted by 2F4U.
I agree with the suggestions that it would help you help others if you became part of the Ubuntu community.
Here are a couple of links for development.
