As a gentoo gnome maintainer, for gentoo support, I'd be glad to be
submitted live ebuilds for gnome-live overlay. This goes the usual
route, check latest ebuild in tree or in gnome overlay, adapt, submit to
bugzilla for review. If you stick around often enough, you might even
get write access. Visit us on #gentoo-desktop on Freenode if you want to
discuss it or poke me on #evolution.

It works for me on Gentoo, if you (or anyone else) are running Gentoo
and having issues I can perhaps provide some insight. 

( for various reasons (some may be related to evo, most are not) I have
a decent number of unmasked ~x86 packages )

I also have a version of my makefile, which does work and builds Evo
from GIT and openchange from SVN.  It will check out the latest stuff,
etc.  However, it is really geared towards working on Ubuntu 9.10.
Trying to do development on older distros means you need to rebuild a
LOT of the Gnome libraries, etc. (more than I wanted to bother with).

Other (new enough) distributions would surely work, but my makefile
doesn't handle them.  You can run it there anyway, it's just you'll have
to work out what packages you need to install on your own.

Awesome! 

Some more pointers : http://www.go-evolution.org/MAPIProvider#Download -
This page has some information on compiling evolution-mapi (Sadly it is
outdated. For evolution-mapi you would need to use git. and for
openchange it is still in svn)

http://www.go-evolution.org/MAPI_FAQ 

Feel free to ping me on IRC. I'm 'jony' in #evolution and usually
available from 0500 UTC to 1200 UTC.

Great!  We could certainly use more help.

As with any open source project, the best way to get involved with
development is to first familiarize yourself with the source code and
relevant libraries, and then try fixing some simple bugs and submitting
source code patches to the developers of the project.

For evolution-mapi, a good place to bookmark and browse open bugs is:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=evolution-mapi

Some good instructions for generating and submitting source code
patches:

http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove/SubmittingPatches

Here's a more generic overview on getting involved with GNOME.  Some
parts may be slightly outdated or not applicable to evolution-mapi
specifically, but there's still a lot of good information there.

http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove/

In addition to posting questions to this mailing list, I would also
encourage you to join the #evolution IRC channel on irc.gnome.org to
chat with Evolution developers in real time.  Keep in mind, however,
that most of the developers are in Indian or European time zones, so
their work schedule may be different from yours.  Also keep in mind that
we're all pretty busy and don't have much time for much hand holding or
for questions that can be easily answered with a Google search.  But if
you present yourself as competent, patient and respectful of others'
time, I think you'll find we're a pretty friendly bunch.

Good luck!

[balaji cherukuri]

Hi Gnome team,

I am a software engineer, I want to contribute to evolution-mapi. Could you
give some guidance how would I proceed.

I am new to GNOME development.
