Hi Nick,

Welcome.

There are a list of starter jira issues (labeled starter), that could help you
to get familiar with the code base.

Feel free to grab and assign to yourself, and start contributing.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-407?filter=
12315361=project%20%3D%20BEAM%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20starter

Hey Nick,

Awesome! Welcome.

http://beam.incubator.apache.org/contribute/contribution-guide/ is the
place to start (have you seen it yet? if so, send more specific questions?)

Intro + getting started

[Nick Travers]

Hi Beamers,

I've been following along the lists for a while now ("long time listener,
first time caller"), and met a few of you at Strata in September. Loved all
the talks.

After using Beam (+ Dataflow runner) for some of my side projects, I'd love
to jump in and start contributing. Never having worked on libraries (more
application development) or OSS for that matter, it would be good to pick
up some of the smaller tickets as I feel my way around the codebase.

Is it possible to be added to the Jira? And is it just a matter of picking
up unassigned tickets? I see that there are some "newbie" / "starter"
tickets that are already assigned but have been open for a while now. The
AutoValue tickets looked like a good place to start.

Also, is the Slack channel active?

Thanks! Looking forward to getting stuck in!

Hi Minudika,

Happy to hear from you!

We have labels in JIRA that you can look at to find starter tasks that
interest you. The tags are "starter" and "newbie" and "easyfix". They all
mean the same thing.

Take a look and if you find something that sounds interesting, comment on
the ticket and we can give it to you.

Kenn

Nevermind, I just found another post recently answered along these lines.

New user - getting started

[Prashant Kommireddi]

I've recently started reading up a bit on this project and was looking
through the "How to Contribute" page
http://beam.incubator.apache.org/contribution-guide/

Are there any getting started docs I could refer to start playing with
beam? And may be a few trivial JIRAs I could look into? Would love to
understand a bit of the code in the process.

Re: getting started?

[James Malone]

This thread made me realize we probably need an FAQ on the website with
this question in it. I've created a JIRA for taking that on.

Re: getting started?

[Frances Perry]

Here's the Beam jira:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM

If you want to dig into examples to learn the Beam model,  I'd suggest
starting with these walkthroughs:

https://cloud.google.com/dataflow/examples/wordcount-example

https://cloud.google.com/dataflow/examples/gaming-example

(Currently they are hosted elsewhere and only describe executing with the
Cloud Dataflow runner, but we will be generalizing them and moving to the
Beam site soon! The corresponding source code is already available in the
Beam repo.)

Re: getting started?

[Srikumar Chari]

JB,

Thanks will review the samples - I am assuming they are under the git repo.

Regarding experience, have been working with Spark mostly, some Flink 
experience and even less Akka streams. Applications are real time/low latency 
evals/transformations and reporting. 

Do you have a link to the Jira project?

getting started?

[Srikumar Chari]

Beam team,

I am very excited about Beam, everything I’ve read about it is awesome.

I just joined this alias and am interested in becoming a contributor. Was 
wondering if there a natural place for me to start? I’ve mostly trying to piece 
things from a scattering of all the docs/blogs.

Sorry for rookie question :)

Thanks

Hi,

I am new to Apache beam and would like to get familiar with it.
I am going to try for the implementation of the feature for Apache Zeppelin
mentioned  in the Jirra ZEPPELIN-682
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-682> .
For that I want to get familiar with Apache beam. Please give me some tips
to get started and familiar with beam.

Thanks and regards
Minudika
