Hi,
Thanks a lot for showing some light on what to do. Can you tell me the
HTTP link from where I could join in the team?

I am a newbie in Linux but have learn things slowly. I want to be a part of the development team so that I can learn more about programming Linux. I am good at basic programming skills. But am not that good when it comes to programming under Linux. Still I think I am good enough to learn things. I want to start with something which is simple and then move on to more complex things. Where should I start? Can someone tell me what to do?
Perhaps the best I can do :-) is inviting you to join the openSUSE buildservice development, which is looking forward to contribution. There is a number of interesting projects constituting the buildservice, like the commandline client (written in Python), the backend (written in Perl), the API and web frontend (written in Ruby), and a download infrastructure (an Apache module written in C). There is also a wealth of tools and glue code around all these different components. It is a very interesting landscape to work with and many things to do, much is still in the "idea" state, rewarding to work with.
A good starting point often is to tackle some small thing which annoys you, "scatching your own itch". Thus, tell us what annoys you in the buildservice, discuss it here and make suggestions, send a patch, or ask for help in creating a patch. Your committed time, in whatever way, will be appreciated!
As an example for a concrete list of things to do for our commandline client "osc", have a look here: https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/opensuse/trunk/buildservice/src/clientlib/p...
