Hi Chris, Have you seen http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute from the Apache Hadoop wiki? I think it is a good starting point if you want to become familiar with the project. Also, the wiki page has a very handy link to all the JIRAs that are "easy" fixes that you can do and get you started contributing to the project: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12331506 Lastly, I'd recommend to read about The Apache Way: http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html and http://theapacheway.com (more links there too) so you can get an idea how contributing to projects from the ASF works.
