How should i contribute to ubuntu community.

[vat with tux]

Hi friends. I'm having knowledge of c language & basic shell script programing. I'm not having any experience of linux kernel level programing. I want to contribute to ubuntu community. So should i contribute as a developer?

Maybe you can hang out in the Programming Talk section and help answer questions when people are having trouble with C and scripting. It's a sub section of the Developers Forum. You might find some more answers there. (can't remember the exact name of the section but it's one of the major headings if you look at the forum list.) If you know C, you're already well on your way to contributing.

edit: Here's the link to the Developer forum:

Support is a good way to go help those that need a little help.

Everyone here has something to offer to others in the community, by being here you are already contributing in my opinion.

This isn't a support question, moved to the Cafe.

Thanks for that link. Actually i have visited it previously.
My question is that i'm knowing basic of c & shell script So is it enough to contribute as a developer(programmer).I'm not having any knowledge of kernel level programing.

Thanking in advance.

You may also want to look into any upstream projects that may interest you (if it's code you wish to contribute).
