Hi Not sure if my previous email one week ago did actually get delivered. So I apologize for resenting in advance.
My name is Ankur. I am a student, and I am keenly interested in, and want to contribute to this project for implementation of Gossip protocol. I have some job experience in designing instance migration services for a popular public cloud infrastructure, and distributed data backup and recovery services. I think this project will help me learn a lot, and I can also contribute while learning. I saw that GOSSIP-70 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GOSSIP-70) is still open. It was mentioned as a project in GSoC 2017 too. If this is indeed open, and you guys think I can start with this, it will be great. Please note that I am not participating in GSoC and I want to contribute on a individual capacity. If there are other open issues where you are looking for contribution too, do let me know, and I can get started with that. Also, I am wondering if there is any interest in implementation of Gossip in other languages like python or C++. I look forward to hear from you guys. Thanks Ankur
