Hi!
I'm Imtiaz, an Apache committer on a now inactive Apache top level project ESME. I an experienced Java developer since its inception and en even more experienced, indeed ancient J developer in general having, among other notable places, even spent a forgettable J 2+ years at Microsoft around 1991-1994, forgettable mainly because, for reasons Java aficionados will readily understand, I could not identify with my assigned work viz., Visual Basic 2.0 language implementation. My favorite for the last couple of years has been Scala whose creator Martin Odersky recently pointed out the graduation to a top level project of Apache Kafka which relies on ZooKeeper. To be honest, in spite of my considerable experience I have had little opportunity to work with distributed computation and would like to get going with ZooKeeper. I believe the best way to learn is on the job - so request you, maybe Patrick Hunt or Flavio who seem to be the currently most active committers/PMC members on the dev list to point me to JIRA issues to get started with by submitting patches, particularly useful ones, for example those which would help in the 3.4.6 release. Thanks in anticipation, Imtiaz Imtiaz Ahmed Hajee Esmail Apache id imtiaz ASF JIRA ids in.imtiaz, imtiaz Location: Bangalore, India Time Zone: UTC +5.30
