- Submit SSH key (generate if necessary)
- Sign CLA
- Sign up for project-specific mailing lists
- Send introduction email

Success in an open source project vitally depends on communication and collaboration. To maximize your success you should plan on spending time in IRC and reading email lists. This may mean letting your IRC client sit idle while you are busy and catching up on the days logs at some point.
Tools and Environment
You may already be familiar with the tools that you will be using, but it's likely that there is at least some new tool that you will have to learn.
- Find out what tools you will be using
- Languages
- Editors/IDEs
- Source Control
- Find out the locations of the material you will be working with
- Wiki
- CVS
- git
Make sure that everything works for you up front. Make sure you have access to all of the necessary repositories and know how to use the tools.
