Hai Edward, Thanks for your wonderful introduction.
An official IRC sounds interesting. By the way, I also watched your intro video in Youtube. Now I am reading the article “Network-Friendly Gossiping” to get more clear picture. Network-Friendly Gossiping disuses more social networks (ER, scale free, ....) and youtube videos describes more it as a kind "Dynamic Topology Detection". So, could you describe some use cases (examples) of the project ? Also I am going through the source code. I hope that would be the first step, or is there any suggestion from you to get started (some research papers, articles or anything else)? About issues in jira, whether the reporter is deciding the assignee ?? About git stars (done) and blogging , i will do it ;-) Regards, Kiran Mathews On Wed, Feb 15, 2017 at 4:19 PM, Edward Capriolo <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Feb 15, 2017 at 6:55 AM, Kiran Mathews <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > (Sorry for the previous incomplete mail) > > > > Hallo, > > > > I am Kiran Mathews.
