Search the sites for their developer sections... 
Find their mail lists and/or issue trackers, sign up on everything.

Figure out their process for submission... usually amount to 
find an issue, 
create a fix, 
make a patch, 
attach patch to issue, 
mark issue as fixed, 
wait for a commiter to verify.Every project needs more test cases written or elaborated on.  Usually that is the best and least risky way to learn the system and process.
Once you understand the bigger problems you'll be able to suggest features and work on enhancements.

Thank you Travis and Steve.

So how does a Java greenhorn have at it in one of these forums?  Do I just go there and get on their chat board or discussion forum and say "Hey! I'm new to Java and I need experience...give me something to do!!!" ???

Thanks

Gary

Can you please name possible Open source projects ?  I know Sourceforge is one, can you please suggest others?

Thank you

Hi Everyone,

I have done java/j2ee production support work about 18 months ago currently I am working with Siebel/Oracle BI technology. But I would like to keep my Java/J2ee skills alive, so if anyone needs any help with anything or know of any place where I can keep my Java skills updated, I am willing to help them out free of charge on my free time. Please let me know how can I do that. 

Thank You

Suketu Patel
