Hi devs, I'm a final year undergraduate in Computer Science & Engineering of the University of Moratuwa. I have completed my 6 months internship at WSO2 Lanka (Pvt) Ltd last year. There I got the chance to apply the theoretical knowledge gained from lectures in practical to some extent. Mainly dealt with Apache Synapse. Used Apache Kafka and Zookeeper for handling data streams for that project.
Have some hands-on experience in Java, Python, JavaScript, React JS, Vue JS by doing several projects based in both academic and non-academic purposes. I would like to work on Apache OODT related project this summer(GSOC2019) because contributing to Open Source is the best way to learn the real world software engineering practices and open source culture. I went through the Tutorials to get a basic idea about the project and send a Pull Request[1] adding some modifications to README which will be intuitive to a new contributor. So How to get a head start on contributing? Are there any beginner type issues to solve as a first step to get more familiar to the code base? I appreciate if someone can guide me. :-) [1] https://github.com/apache/oodt/pull/90 Thanks and Best Regards, Gimhana. -- Nadeeshan Gimhana Undergraduate Department of Computer Science & Engineering University of Moratuwa *Mobile :+94775744613* *Website : https://ngimhana94.wixsite.com/gimhanadesilva/ <https://ngimhana94.wixsite.com/gimhanadesilva/>* *L**inkedin* *:www.linkedin.com/in/nadeeshangimhana/ <http://www.linkedin.com/in/nadeeshangimhana/>* *Blog* :https://medium.com/@gimhanadesilva.15 * <http://www.linkedin.com/in/nadeeshangimhana/>* * <http://www.linkedin.com/in/nadeeshangimhana/>*
