+## 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
+as a Jira contributor so that I can assign issues to myself. My ASF Jira
Username is <username>.
+```
+
+### OutOfMemoryException during the Gradle build
+
+You might get an OutOfMemoryException during the Gradle build. If you have
more memory
+available, you can try to increase the memory allocation of the Gradle JVM.
Otherwise,
+disabling parallel test execution reduces memory consumption. In the root of
the Beam
+source, edit the `gradle.properties` file and add/modify the following lines:
+
+ org.gradle.parallel=false
+ org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2g -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
+
+### Finding reviewers
+
+Currently this is a manual process. Tracking bug for automating this:
