Hello Everyone, I am in the process of submitting a 40-minute talk on how to get involved with the Apache Kafka project.
As a beginning contributor to the project, it was a bit overwhelming earlier on in the process knowing where to start, what to do and how to get involved. I would like to collaborate with 2 or more contributors, committers/PMC members to present at the next Kafka Summit on this specific topic. The community and the project as a whole can really benefit from this type of content. At a high level, I plan to cover the following: - Who can contribute? - Why we should get involved ... - What and how we can contribute (tutorials, stack overflow, support email distribution lists, architecture discussions, docs, testing release candidates, submitting patches, adding/changing core and ecosystem components etc). Project rules and guidelines for contributing. - When to get involved. Even if you are not able to present, I can still share my ideas/thoughts and get feedback. Please reach out if you are interested in partnering on this. I plan to submit the CFP on Friday (May 15). Thanks.
