Hi Oleg, Sounds good to me, as my main purpose with the mentor program was to get in touch with the project, participants and the habits, but I probably can get that on the fly while working in the project.
I am willing to start contributing, if only I would suggest some first tasks that allow me to get to better know the structure of the project / code and, of course, any advice you could provide to avoid most common pitfalls. Thanks! 2016-09-20 4:56 GMT-04:00 Oleg Kalnichevski <ol...@apache.org>: > On Mon, 2016-09-19 at 23:41 -0400, Francisco Carriedo Scher wrote: > > Hello all, > > > > I have been a user of the HTTP Apache client for years and contributing > to > > an open source project is in my want-to-do list for some time now. > > > > Currently, I am looking for a mentor as my intention would be to > > follow the mentoring > > program <http://community.apache.org/mentoringprogramme.html>, as this > > would be my first contribution to open source and to the ASF and I looks > to > > me like worth it to spend some time learning about the right way of > > contributing. > > > > The project is of my personal interest, I would like to learn from > > collaborating on it as much as possible, as well as trying to provide > some > > valuable input too and contributing back to the open source community, > > specially to this project, that has served me as a great tool! > > > > My understanding is that this is a big effort even re-using as much as > > possible the parts from HTTP 1.0/1.1 and will include working in several > > parts, not only coding: documentation, examples, updating website... > > > > Looking forward to hearing from somebody willing to mentor me and > proposing > > an entry point for this my first open source project. > > > > Thanks in advance for your time! > > > > Francisco > > Hi Francisco > > Given that your main interest is in HTTP/2 that probably leaves me as > the only potential mentor.
