Why should a team join you? YOU are supposed to join a team instead.
Join existing distro team and you'll have what you want.
because first thing : i will make project like Debian
Second thing : some low-end PC users are loving frutiger aero and some classics in windows
Third thing : I and support team will be making distro

If your age is correct as you stated then I understand your motivation.
Many individuals started their own distro, only to disappear together with their distro after some time, very likely as soon as they realized it's not easy at all.
I hope you know what it takes to make a distro, because if you don't you'll suffer.
As for getting a team, that's not something you acquire, you first need to prove yourself to attract some people, you know, show some skills, dedication and seriousness.
Given your age it's unlikely also that you can cast some authority upon a team of volunteers majority of which will be much older than you.

Thank you for this information
but any way for getting a team from any website

No, forget it.
It's not about any website, it's about making people follow your cause which you will fail to achieve.
For instance you said how you want to develop a distro that will be named after you.
There's no "I" in a team.
I suggest you to look up some popular github projects and see how some people lead a project.
You're too young to lead.
But i have learned Python already
making very rare project in scratch
it is appropriate age to learn Linux script
I am here to realize my dad's dream
his dream is making OS
please help me

That's very good!
However what you need to learn is watching for a while how other people make stuff before you can take matters into your own hands.
If you don't you'll be making mistakes and wasting time.
If you join existing distro team you'll learn about how to build software among other things, this is very essential skill to maintain software.
Python is scripting language however big majority of software is written in C, C++ and other languages that are compiled.
You don't necessarily need to know them but knowing them enables you to quickly fix bugs yourself or to patch things, however understanding how build process works and how to package software is essential to maintain distro.
Python is just a portion of that skill.
There are many skill's you'll need to learn in addition to python, but for that it's best to join a team to learn for a while.
Sorry, I can't help you, I'm just telling you what you should do, first learn for a year or two how to maintain existing distro, then you'll better understand what it takes and won't need anyones help.
Dear Uses ,
here is a new
i had make background for my distro
but it Beta version :
please rate from 10

It is an ambitious task to "make a distro". There are many parts to it. There are a good number of websites and forums devoted to the activity. Undoubtedly it involves a lot of reading, coding and puzzling out a multitude of issues that are involved in such a complex undertaking.
There's a fairly comprehensive overview of the task of making an operating system at this site: https://wiki.osdev.org/Expanded_Main_Page, which has an insightful introduction, and an astute chapter on "Beginner Mistakes" and on "Getting Started". In particular there's a paragraph on the "Hard Truth" in the Getting Started section which is worth considering. It's recommended reading for users interested in creating operating systems. If you read it, doubtless you will be able to gather a sense of the magnitude of the task, especially in relation to the skills that are needed to accomplish it, and then make an assessment about how you might proceed.
There are many pre-requisite skills for the creation of an operating system, not least of all having a conceptualisation of what an "operating system" is. A useful book on the subject is "Modern Operating Systems" by Andrew Tanenbaum and Herbert Bos. The book can be found online and downloaded as a pdf file. There are other books, but this one is not too difficult to read, though some knowledge of the C programming language will help a lot.
I guess some 13 years olds are truly prodigies, so I hope you are one of those because that would help enormously at your age, if it is indeed correct
. Best wishes to you for the journey.That all said, you may actually have something less than the creation of an operating system in mind. There are many alternative projects that are not as demanding but which may be satisfying nonetheless. One such is the creation of a boutique distro based on one that already exists. For example, debian offer a manual for the creation of a debian based live distro which can be modified and made unique to suit a user's preferences. The manual is here: https://live-team.pages.debian.net/live-manual/html/live-manual/index.en.html. Another alternative is the remastering of already existing live disks. There are many resources online for this which can be investigated. Some examples are for MX Linux, Puppy and also debian.
A third alternative is to have a hunt through code repos like github and codeberg for examples where developers have created small unique linux distros with all the code available for scrutiny. There are numerous examples, one of which is at: https://github.com/ivandavidov/minimal?utm_source. These projects can be very informative about creating distros by beginning from a small manageable base from which a lot of useful learning can be derived.
