+## Apache Beam Contribution FAQ
+
+Frequently asked questions about contributing to Apache Beam.
+
+### Who do I ask if I am stuck?
+
+Either email [[email protected]]({{ site.baseurl }}/community/contact-us/)
or chat
+on [Slack]({{ site.baseurl }}/community/contact-us/).
+
+### How do I join the dev email list?
+
+Send a blank email to [email protected].
+
+### Why can't I assign a jira issue to myself?
+
+Only ASF Jira contributors can be assigned issues. To get the permission to do
so, email
+the [dev@ mailing list]({{ site.baseurl }}/community/contact-us)
+to ask to be a contributor in the Beam issue tracker. For example:
+
+```
+Hi, my name is <your name>. I am interested in contributing <what> to the
Apache Beam SDK. I'd like to be added
Review comment:
I really like that you've given a template email; it lowers the bar a bit
for reaching out to the community for the first time. It could be hard to fill
in the open-ended "what" in `I'm interested in contributing <what> [..]`; how
about linking to a previous example email, like [this
one](https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/e6018c2aaf7dc7895091434295e5b0fafe192b975e3e3761fcf0cda7@%3Cdev.beam.apache.org%3E)?
