That's wonderful! Apache is a meritocracy, meaning one works their way towards becoming a committer by doing stuff -- posting patches, reviewing patches, commenting on issues, answering user's questions, posting ideas to the dev list, etc. Perhaps a good place to start would be to browse through the open Tika issues:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+TIKA+AND+status+%3D+Open+ORDER+BY+priority+DESC&mode=hide And see if there's one you may want to tackle? Also, be sure to subscribe to the user and dev lists so you see people's responses to your emails: http://tika.apache.org/mail-lists.html Mike McCandless http://blog.mikemccandless.com On Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 6:33 AM, Ankur Chauhan <ankur...@alumni.usc.edu> wrote: > Hi, > > I am interested in working of Apache Tika and being a code commiter to > the project. > Please guide me through the process or please direct me to a commiters page. > > Thanks > - Ankur Chauhan > Software Engineer, Brightcove Inc.
