Hi Andrey,
Welcome to the community!
Looking at the calendar [1], now is the "community bonding period",
and the actual coding starts on May 27. That's according to Google.
There is nothing wrong if we start right away, so you have some
flexibility in choosing your schedule. In any event, let's spend this
time to make sure you are all setup and ready.
The only formality we will need from you is to sign a Contributor
License Agreement (CLA) [2] and either fax it to the US fax number on
the form or scan the signed version and email it to me directly. When
that's out of the way, we will be able to include the code you write
in Cayenne.
The next step would be to get the Cayenne 3.0 sources from the SVn
trunk and make sure you can compile them and everything works in your
IDE (if you are using Eclipse, that should be very straightforward) [3].
The actual code submission will probably follow normal Apache
procedure for non-committers - for each logical task you would create
a patch and submit it via Jira. Me or Kevin or somebody else will
review it and commit it to trunk. In 2006 we made an exception to this
process and created a parallel repository for the students with full
commit access, however in our case your project is closely integrated
with the existing code and consists of a number of manageable isolated
tasks, so I think the patch approach should work just fine.
That's it for the start... Feel free to ask questions as you go.
Cheers,
Andrus
