Hi all. I am Gaby Ortiz and my initial application for the Outreach program was accepted today. I was checking out the projects list and this project seems to be a good fit for my knowledge background. I studied software engineering a couple years ago and in my final project at the University I worked with graph databases such as Jena TDB, Virtuoso and GraphDB for a Linked Data project. I was checking out Neo4j and the basic concepts are the same, then I would like to apply for this project. I have experience working with the Java programming language and related tools such as maven, gradle, testcontainers, etc. And I am familiar with NoSQL databases (especially graph-based).
I was wondering which should be my next steps?. I saw a list of warm-up tasks in the Outreachy platform, how can I be assigned one of those tasks in order to get started with Apache Gora?. Do you have suggestions or guidelines that I should consider before applying for this project? I saw many communication channels in the project description: jira, github, wiki, mailing list, and personal emails of the mentors. I was wondering how should I contact you?. The Outreachy documentation says ".. contact the mentor on public community channels as much as possible." so I am writing to the public developers mailing list, is it ok with you?. Thanks, Gaby
