Best way would be to first find a project that you use yourself and
make a few changes to it for the better. Send the changes into the
project maintainer (as diff files if possible) and let them know you
would be interested in joining with the project. Don't just ask to join
without showing that you have something to offer. And don't refer to
yourself as "Prince of Code" when you mail the maintainer... use your
real name. If you use a pseudonym it kills your credibility, and a
pseudo like that makes you sound like a script kiddie/wared d00d.
