Hi Craig, It’s good to hear that you’re joining the community. How to look for projects is a very good question, I see the following opportunities for you:
1) You mentioned the “Research Projects” page which is quite old and I’m not sure how outdated the projects that are listed there. However the Partitioned Zookeeper” sounds quite interesting to me. Ben Reed wrote the original post, maybe he would be kind to give you some background here if he reads this. If you would like to work on it and have some ideas, I suggest to open a google doc or something like that and share your design with community. I’m sure there will be folks here who are happy to help with reviews. 2) Come up with your own idea and follow the same approach as outlined above. 3) (what I did at the beginning) Open ZooKeeper GitHub and start reviewing recent pull request and share your thoughts. Besides that you could also dig Jiras and try to find some opportunities and tasks to jump in with your contribution. Remember: No contribution is better than the other. Every one of them counts. There’re no ideas which are too small to share, no tasks which are too meaningless to work on and no stupid questions. You don’t need to change the world to get credited. ZK community appreciates everything you would like to do in order to help. Happy coding! Andor > On 2020.
