First thing to do is to understand the Contributor Workflow, that is how to get your changes into Usergrid. Basically, you create a fork of the usergrid/usergrid project on GitHub, make your changes there and submit a Pull Request back to the usergrid/usergrid project. Project is here:
https://github.com/usergrid/usergrid Before Apache can accept your changes you'll need to have an Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA) on file with Apache. Print the form out, sign it, scan it and email it to [email protected]. Form is here: http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt Next, as Rod suggested, you might try to get to know Usergrid by fixing some bugs. That will force you to understand some parts of the code, how to build, test and debug your changes. Hope that helps...
