Re: Where can one find low hanging fruit for open source contribution?

Agree with Michael Klishin, I've gotten a few patches into Leiningen as a 
relative Clojure newb and the maintainers have been super friendly and 
helpful.

 Leiningen has issues tagged newbie and its maintainers are some of the 
 nicest 
 people you'll find in open source:

 Some (unfortunately, only a few to date) ClojureWerkz projects use a 
 similar 
 tag: 
 https://github.com/clojurewerkz/elastisch/labels/low-hanging%20fruit 

 Ultimately I'd recommend contributing to either what you can easily see 
 yourself 
 using or something that sounds really interesting. Leiningen is something 
 you will use if you use Clojure, which makes it a no-brainer.

Hope it helps.

Re: Where can one find low hanging fruit for open source contribution?

2014-09-29 Thread Mikera
I'd suggest picking something based on your own interests. It is always 
best to work on something where you have personal motivation / passion.

Once you've done that: identify an issue or two that you want to work on, 
engage with the community (to discuss ideas, check that nobody else is 
working on the same issue) and finally get hacking.

A plug for a couple of my favourite projects in the data science / 
numerical computing space (for you, or anyone else who is keen!):
- core.matrix has quite a few fairly accessible enhancements / issues to 
tackle: https://github.com/mikera/core.matrix/issues
- Incanter is also a very interesting project to work 
on: https://github.com/incanter/incanter/issues

Re: Where can one find low hanging fruit for open source contribution?

2014-09-29 Thread Michael Drogalis
Hi there,

About a week ago, I open sourced Onyx, a new distributed computation 
platform: https://github.com/MichaelDrogalis/onyx

I've been looking for help from developers of all skill levels, though I 
have 3 or 4 open tasks particularly well suited to someone with 
intermediate skills.

Two tasks about validating data shape and throwing good error messages:
- https://github.com/MichaelDrogalis/onyx/issues/2
- https://github.com/MichaelDrogalis/onyx/issues/3

And two feature-level tasks:
- Exposing a Java API: https://github.com/MichaelDrogalis/onyx/issues/1
- Creating a simple monitoring 
dashboard: https://github.com/MichaelDrogalis/onyx/issues/12

Takes a bit of learning about the project, but it's pretty cool stuff, and 
I'd be happy to help you along.

Leiningen has issues tagged newbie and its maintainers are some of the nicest
people you'll find in open source:

Some (unfortunately, only a few to date) ClojureWerkz projects use a similar
