Hi Ravindranath, I am a recent newcomer to ASF, too. Here are some wiki pages that help newcomers get oriented. You might have seen them already but I still thought of letting you know. You don't have to read necessarily in the order I have listed them.
1. http://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html 2. http://community.apache.org/newcomers/index.html 3. http://community.apache.org/gettingStarted/101.html 4. http://apache.org/foundation/getinvolved.html 5. http://apache.org/index.html#projects-list Also, here is a mail that I got with suggestions from Ray Chiang on the mapreduce-dev mailing list (Apache Hadoop project). -------------------------- Ray Chiang [email protected] via <https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1311182?hl=en> hadoop.apache.org Jul 13 (13 days ago) to mapreduce-dev Welcome aboard. I'd recommend reading the HowToContribute wiki for understanding the contribution process. For other tips on getting started, there is the "newbie" label in JIRA, but it's an imperfect sorting. I recommend doing the following: 1) Look at unit test JIRAs, both open and closed. Tons of benefits: they'll help you understand some part of the API, some could use some comments and enhancements, etc. 2) Pick a component (ResourceManager, NodeManager, MR APIs, DataNode, NameNode, etc.) and focus on that to start. It's easier than trying to understand it all at once. 3) Participate in some code reviews. It will be non-binding, but testing out other code can help you understand some part. ----------------------------------- Hope that helps... - Ajoy On Fri, Jul 24, 2015 at 4:38 PM, Hadrian Zbarcea <[email protected]> wrote: > (sorry for the double post, didn't get the addressees right) > > Hi Ravindra, > > It's great that you want to contribute.
