Respected Sir/Madam,
My name is Vinayak Ravi Saxena,  a computer science undergraduate, I have just entered my final year at Lovely Professional University.
I am a newbie at open source and looking forward to starting my open-source journey with your organization.
I am proficient in C++, Python, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, React, Django, Flask, and Flutter and have good knowledge about MongoDB, SQL, Node.js.
Could you please help me in getting started?
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Vinayak

I will the standard way to start contributing into open source is same and are as follow;
  • Read the code of conduct provided by community for the project you want to contribute, for django specifically you can use https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/internals/contributing/ . I will recommend read carefully the part with Code styling, testing and pull request as headings, though all of it is important.
  • Try to watch the issue raised by other people in community under the heading ISSUES on GitHub,And understand how to raise issue or bugs or new features and solutions provided in subsequent comment on that.
  • Look for issue/bug that you think can resolve and ask community if you could provide solution Of same, then after you to follow steps mentioned in Contribution Guide.

I will recommend try building some projects on Django before getting started to contribute, because
That way you will understand the context of discussion in issues comments and also help you give a
Better solution.
