[OSM-dev] Introduction as a prospective GSoC'15 student

[Shrey Bagroy]

Hi Ian!
I actually spent some time exploring OSM before I sent this email. I went
through the tutorials, got a feel for the tools and added a few places to
the map in my neighborhood. I also talked to a few people on the IRC and
got a general idea about the projects that I have shown an interest in.
Is there some way I could start contributing to OSM?
