Hi Adam, Glad to hear that you are interested in Mesos. Please see my answers to some of your questions inline.
* Anyone have a pointer to a decent "hello world" for Mesos and/or > cluster computing? > > We have several examples under "src/examples" that implement very simple frameworks (C++, Java, Python) that run on top of Mesos. To run the C++ framework for example, you would do $ cd mesos $ mkdir -p build && cd build # optional $ ../configure && make $ MESOS_SOURCE_DIR=../`pwd` MESOS_BUILD_DIR=`pwd` ../src/tests/test_framework_test.sh * What are some of the near-term and far-term goals for Mesos? (for > instance, I've seen mention of graduating from the Apache incubator) > > We want to be the de-facto cluster management framework in the industry :) > * Is there an IRC channel or other chatroom that Mesos developers frequent? > > AFAIK, we don't maintain any IRC channel. This mailing list is the primary way users/developers interact and ask questions. > * Is there an extant list of bite-size Mesos [volunteer] tasks? > > The authoritative list of issues are tracked at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aissues-panel You might want to look at issues tagged as "Minor"/"Trivial", if you are looking for some place to start! HTH, Vinod Thanks! > > -- > Adam Monsen > http://adammonsen.com > >
