Help with starting contributing to Flink
Hi,
I chanced upon this project and I like the idea of it very much. I'd like
to contribute Java 7/8 code to the codebase. Could someone pls help me out
with pointing out ways I could contribute to it and/or act as a mentor?
I've already built from source.

Hey,
Yes, just decide what you would like to work on, and if that happens to be the Streaming API, we will be glad to assist you with your effort in any way. There is always something to do from the pretty simple to the very challenging ones so we can definitely come up with something that you will find suitable.
So just let us know, and we will create some JIRA-s from the todo-s.
Regards,
Gyula

I think the QA bot will also involve coding. I don't know if there are any
systems that we can re-use for that.
But don't get me wrong: You can work on whatever you want. If you want to
help on the core project, we can certainly come up with something there as
well.
Either pick an issue yourself or discuss an idea with us.
Maybe the streaming guys could also add some "starter" tasks to the JIRA.

Hi Rob,
Thanks. Though I prefer contributing code, I'll try working on the QA bot
and let you know my progress. :)

I don't know if its okay for you to start with a project outside our main
codebase, but we really need a QA-bot for validating pull requests:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1166
I can give you a small virtual machine at Microsoft Azure to run the bot on.
Another field that probably contains a lot of interesting tasks is our new
Streaming component. There are not so many issues related to the streaming
component in JIRA, but I think there is still a lot of work to do there.
(For example: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1081)

Hi Ajay,
new contributors are always very welcome in our community.
There is a "How to contribute guide" on our website:
http://flink.incubator.apache.org/how-to-contribute.html
It contains some general advice on how to start.
If you want, we can discuss together which issue you want to work on in the
beginning.
Flink has quite a large codebase, so it might be tough in the beginning to
understand it. But we can help you in the beginning, and once you feel
comfortable with it, its a really amazing project to work on ;)
Regards,
Robert
