Sashwat, if you're really interested in reporting on OSS. You can join some weekly newsletter team for your favourite project/distro. Many of them send weekly newsletter to the subscribers. I believe debian and ubuntu have such weekly newsletter for one. That can keep you not only in touch with the latest happenings with that project, but also get you in touch with the devs and get you familiar with OSS community's communications methods like IRC's, mailing lists and such.
