How to learn and contribute to IPFS

Hello there, I’m new to IPFS, I just discovered it recently and really want to learn about it in detail and contribute to the development of it.

I am an IT graduate, I know in detail about the working of internet, I am also well versed with distributed systems and network security and git but not familiar with block chain.

Where would a good place to start be ?.

Thank you in advance !!

@aurimusblack Welcome!

If you’re ready to hit the ground running, then take a look at the issues labeled “help wanted”: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A"help+wanted"+

Another great way to contribute, while also learning about the details, is to read through some of the recently opened and recently closed PRs: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pulls

Take a look at all of the projects in the organization as much of the work is spread out and some of it may be more interesting to you than others.

Join us on IRC: #ipfs-dev on irc.freenode.net.

And keep participating in these forums.
