Hi Josh,

Thanks for your interest in becoming a GNOME Developer!

I might recommend a couple things:

If you're looking to connect with developers, join GIMPNet IRC and join
the #gnome, #gnome-love and #bugs channels.  

GNOME Love is a great way to get started in triaging and fixing bugs -
using the "gnome-love" keyword in GNOME Bugzilla, developers tag bugs or
feature enhancements that should be easy for a new developer to tackle.
Learn more at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove and make sure to join the
mailing list too and introduce yourself.
