Hello to everyone!
I am working as a software developer and in my day to day work, I
use Apache Commons utilities extensively. I am pretty much enthusiastic
about contributing to Apache OSF and as a starting point, I have decided to
do small contributions in Commons-Collections as I am familiar with it's
usage. I have gone through the apache mentorship guide and would like to
follow that to land into the wonderful world of open source software
development.
I think I will be able to provide work around for feature
requirements like [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-556].
Before finalizing the issue I'd like to work on, I thought of writing this
introductory email. It'd be very helpful if someone can point me for the
formal procedure for working on this? My understanding is, I'd write a
formal proposal for this and then would engage with a conversation with the
community and would look for a mentor to assist me in completing this
within a stipulated time.
I'd really appreciate any types of suggestions on how to get
started, about writing proposals or any other thing that you think might
help me in starting this new and exciting journey.
