Hi All, This question might be asked several time by different different people who do have interest being a apache contributor.I would like to ask this question again. How can I get into Apache project as contributor ?. I have read the guide lines available in Apache website. They suggest to follow the particular project that you are interested and use the software then pinpoint where things can be improved.
When it comes to my point of view, all are true.But everyone is not at same level to follow those guide lines perfectly.In my case I would like to join to Java based web service project. I have tried several products. I feel if you need to find issues by your own at first hand it won't be that much easy since I'm not a well seasoned about the software.Other scenario is there are existing defects in JIRA they said you can work on those issues. My point is product complexity matter for newcomers.I head that there are mentoring activities happens in Apache.Probably it might be helpful for me.How can I find a mentor if I like to work on existing bug ?. I'm waiting for reply from great community. Thanks Nuwan Arambage
