Re: Documenting project self-assessments for maturity model
Do you need more examples? E.g.: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GEODE/Geode+Podling+Maturity+Assessment https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MADLIB/ASF+Maturity+Evaluation Thanks, Roman.

Re: I wish to contribute.
Hi Thomas, On 17/02/18 17:02, Thomas Red-Cloud wrote: Hi, My name is Thomas Red-Cloud. I am as the name suggest a Native American, from the Apache Chiricahua tribe of San Carlos Band. I am also a software engineer, 20 years. I have made the decision to start contributing, and express interest of becoming a member of the ASF which honors my tribe. I have seen enough in the wild of SE to know that by contributing, I will help pave the way for other engineers to innovate. Best Regards, Thomas So first many thanks for your decision to help and contribute which is the foundation of the Apache Software Foundation and it's great having people who are willing to help. Now the hard part comes to decide where to contribute ? Have you already taken a look at the projects[1] of Apache Software Foundation ? You can start contributing on a project while taking a look into the mailing lists or in the appropriate JIRA and see if you can help with an issue or just ask on the project mailing list where someone of the projects can give you a hint where to start with (so called low hanging fruits)... You can start for example with reading the docs of the projects and if you find a thing might might be improved/changed/fixed just start with reporting it and maybe making suggestions how to improve/change/fix the docs ...Or if you have more experience you can take a look at the jira and try to work in a issue (best to talk before that on the mailing list with the projects)...and create a patch and attach it to JIRA issue... Most important here is to start communication on the mailing lists first before you start working on something cause it might be the case that the project has different priorities/ideas/long term directions etc. than you have in your mind... Also take a look into the community[2] docs as a starting point.. May own path was that I had having issues with a particular project where I started to contribute to (reporting issues, offering patches etc.). after a time I was offered to become a committer and later on I became a PMC and after more time I became a ASF Member... So to be honest going directly to become a Member might be a thing which might happen in the future...but I would start with the beginning and start as a contributor and the others things might happen in the furture...
