Hi Keith Thanks for the feedback and details of the process you're using. BTW I also started at thread on ComDev and the process of asking permission beforehand came out too (so that is something that definitely needs to be incorporated).
I like the idea of doing or giving something to celebrate a first contribution, so will start a thread on Comdev and see what happens :-) Thanks Sharan On 2017-11-09 17:23, Keith Turner <ke...@deenlo.com> wrote: > On Thu, Nov 9, 2017 at 4:31 AM, Sharan Foga <sha...@apache.org> wrote: > > Hi Fluo Community > > > > My name is Sharan and I'm part of the Apache Community Development (Comdev) > > team.
