Hi Larry,
it would be nice if you start working (or trying to sometimes it's hard
i know this) on a particular issue that you might give a note here on
the dev list so we know where you are working on so this will prevent
duplicate work...just to prevent an other one to work on the same
issue.....or as Michael already mentioned create a particular jira
issue....etc.
Thanks for joining the work...
please don't hesitate to ask questions things you might no understand or
which are not clear ...about the things in Maven ...
Kind regards
Karl Heinz Marbaise

Hi Micheal,
Thanks a lot for the tips. I look forward to be an active contributor in
the community. Will create PR or patches soon. I am still getting to know
the project (i mean the code for maven) and how it works. To become
familiar with the code base i have started by studying how to build maven
plugins so that i can get more inside of maven. Any more tips for a new
comer like me will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
Larry

Hi all
My name is Ivange Larry, am from Cameroon and new to maven community. I
have followed the instructions on getting started as a developer in the
Apache maven community and below are a few of the things i have done so
far.
First of all greetings to Cameroon and great someone else wants to help.
There are only a few of us.
I did a git clone on this url
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git, to get maven source
code. Please correct me if am wrong since i am new to open source, from
the
url, it shows that maven source code is not hosted on github. Also i was
instructed that when fixing a bug for a jira ticket, i will have to create
a patche file. But since yesteday, the mails i have been receiving from
the
mailing list shows that maven is actually hosted on github, which would
have been better if i just forked the repository, also i noticed that
developers contribute code by creating pull requests not patches. So my
questions are ...
1 - Is the code hosted here
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git, the same as the code
hosted on github with this url https://github.com/apache/maven.
2 - In order to contribute, can i just fork the repository on github and
submit pull requests instead of patches.
Basically, yes.
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/ contains the canonical Git repos hosted by
the ASF. Repos hosted on GitHub are read-only mirrors for convenience.
Assume you have found an issue or would like to share an improvement:
create a JIRA issue first. Clone from GitHub, make your changes. Name the
commit by the "[JIRA-ID] desc" and push to a branch of your clone to
GitHub. Create a PR. The rest is left to us. We will review and
merge/reject. After a successful merge, we will target and close the JIRA
issue.
If you provide constant contributions, you can be invited to be a Maven
committer, just like me.
Michael
