Answer 1

Based on your last comment being about how you want to contribute to AOSP, I would take a look at the Contributing to AOSP page.

All your contributions go through gerrit so reading up about that would also be useful.

Bugs and issues for AOSP can range in a variety of languages and forms, and they can use anyone with proficiency with c, java, and make files to name a few. Any knowledge on those subjects can be helpful.

You should also look into the Style Guidelines for contributing to AOSP or most of your patches will be rejected, they are very strict.

Answer 2

You need to Learn Basic Object Oriented Programming, Java, other then this you should be familiar with Eclipse or ADT plugin as the Integrated Development Environment ( IDE) to work on Android Platform. Linux is not required for New learners (Beginner).
