---------------------------------------
Hi [~CynthiaOmovoiye] First of all, thank you for having an interest in
contributing to Apache Camel.
Here are some guidelines on how to best approach the Apache Camel community and
how to best apply yourself.
1. Communication
Apache Camel is an Apache Software Foundation project, all communication is
done in the open on the project mailing lists.
You can read more on the reasoning behind this to get a better understanding of:
https://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html
All communication is subject to the ASF Code of Conduct, which you can read
here:
https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct.html
For questions and guidance around contributing subscribe to the developer's
mailing list by sending an e-mail to [email protected].
We can also be reached on the Gitter chat at
https://gitter.im/apache/apache-camel/.
We track issues using ASF Jira located at:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL
Where we maintain a list of issues that are easy to get started with, so you
can familiarize yourself with the process and get your first contribution in:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12348073
And some areas that we are actively looking for help on:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12348074
When you're ready to contribute create a Pull request to one of the Camel
projects you can find under the Apache organization on GitHub:
https://github.com/apache?q=camel
Expect that your Pull request will receive a review and that you will need to
respond and correspond to that via comments at GitHub.
2. Getting started
Read the "Contributing to Apache Camel" document on the Camel website:
https://camel.apache.org/manual/latest/contributing.html
Identify areas you can contribute first. You don't have to be an expert in an
area, the Apache Camel developers are available to offer help and guidance.
Introduce yourself on the developer's mailing list (see above), tell us what
area of work or problem you wish to address in Camel. Create a draft of your
solution, this can be simple 1-2 sentences on the change you wish to make. Try
to be as specific as you can: include a short description of your intent, what
you tried and what didn't work, or what you need help with. The best way of
approaching the developers is by describing what you would like to work on and
asking specific questions on how to get started. We'll do our best to guide you
and help you make your contribution.
We also participate in Google Summer of Code and Outreachy programs, for
information about those look at those program websites. If you wish to
participate in either of those follow the guidelines and schedule set by those
programs. If you're unsure please reach out via official communication channels
of those programs, or ask on the developer's mailing list for help.
3. Your first contribution
Make sure you followed the steps and guidelines outlined above. For bigger
changes, make sure that you have discussed on the developer's mailing list or
in the Jira issue tracker before hand. We love receiving contributions, to get
the best response make sure that the reasoning behind the contribution you wish
to make is clear: outline the problem and explain your solution for it.
Make sure you follow the guidelines outlined in the "Contributing to Apache
Camel" document. Be respectful of the source checks, formatting and the
structure of the git commit message we abide by. This will help you in getting
your contribution accepted. Outline any changes you made but are unaware or
unsure of any consequences or side effects.
Stay engaged, follow and respond to comments or questions you might be asked.
With that I wish you all the best and please do have fun while contributing to
Apache Camel, we certainly do :)

> Hugo has a feature where we can [pull in data from JSON

> we could use this feature to have a dynamic contributors page where we show
> names and avatars from GitHub of all contributors to Camel.
> I think we could also have pull in data from Whimsy as JSON for PMC members
> and commiters.
> This way we would not need to update contributors manually.
