great, does that mean then you'll be sending some patches for discussion in some of the areas of your interest as well and you had cleared your participation to this project with your employer as you said you will? > Would someone be able to add me as a project member? anyone of the admins (including me) listed in : http://sourceforge.net/projects/ganglia/ but since we are too many and rarely agree on anything we have a private list where we'd been discussing for weeks already if you (or any other guy that has good ideas and sound code) will be given commit access based on : http://ganglia.wiki.sourceforge.net/ganglia_participate I had to warn you the initiation can be somehow painful, as sometimes we force you develop a whole new feature for a release (like Jesse had to make all graphs modular for 3.1.0 and fly to SF on his own money and time to get his access granted), to work for years on your own fork (like Michael Perzl that has been maintaining the AIX port of ganglia since anyone can remember) or to do some complicated IRC dances (that Timothy has yet to perform as he would most likely have to violate some company policy to do so unless taking a day off to do it from home). but of course, the best way to start will be to start sending as many patches as you can (better if through the list so they are more difficult to ignore and you don't end up like Jason that had some bugzilla entries still open with patches for the last 3 years and doesn't even know he can commit them himself) and get any of the admins annoyed enough because we can't review them fast enough to force us to get you commit access so you'll stop spamming us (just like Brad did with so much energy that we had to give him admin access, and ask him kindly to explain to us how this ganglia 3.1 was meant to work as he almost left none of our contributions left after his refactoring).
