Mentorship Program
Beam Community, I am new to this community and It has been a great experience so far. I am especially thankful to Rui Wang for making this experience smooth and enjoyable. I want others to have the same experience as well. For that, I suggest Beam community have formal Mentorship program or at least have an alias for newbies. As this is a virtual team it is not possible to walk up to someone and ask some basic questions when they are not busy. I am a bit shy sending an email with simple questions to the same alias where architecture level discussions are happening and having an avenue for that will help people like me. I have seen such emails only once on this alias and no further emails from that user. I also see some jira issues assigned but not worked, granted there could be many reasons for that but I am sure more people will benefit from having mentors. Just to be clear I am suggesting permanent mentorship program or alias for newbies in this community which is separate from what is proposed in the email below. If such a thing exists, can you please point me to it. Some of the activities that can be done under this are code walkthroughs. It was great that Pablo Estrada organized such an event once. Some of these may be part of local beam summits but not everyone is able to attend those. I think facilitating new developers adoption to the community will make this community strong and more productive.

Re: Jira email notifications
Thank you Udi Meiri and Pablo Estrada. It was a great opportunity to verify Einstein's views on UI: Everything about UI should be made as simple as possible but not simpler :) There was a typo in my email and I couldn't see the email to correct it. After it is corrected I am getting emails.

Jira email notifications
Hi, Is there a way to get notifications whenever a jira issue is updated? The only place I can see this can be enabled is profile -> Preferences -> My Changes (Notify me) Even though the description seems a little bit misleading I don't see any other place to make any changes. --- Whether to email notifications of any changes you make. - Any other places I need to change to get notifications? Thanks, Sridhar

Re: Using the BigQuery Storage API
Hi John, I encountered similar errors while going through the following guide https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BEAM/Using+IntelliJ+IDE and I missed this step Open *File | Settings...* In left pane, navigate to *Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Gradle | Runner*. Select *Delegate IDE build/run actions to gradle*, and *Run tests using: Gradle Test Runner*. Then select *Apply* and *OK*.
