New Contributor - Java & Spring Boot Developer

[Abdallah adham <ad...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

My name is Abdallah, a Java and Spring Boot developer. I just joined the
dev list and set up the repository locally. I’m looking forward to
contributing to Apache Fineract and getting involved with the community
ahead of GSoC.

Could someone point me to any good first issues or open tickets suitable
for a newcomer?

Thanks, Abdallah

Dear newcomer, 

we kindly request that you begin your onboarding by reviewing our curated, helpful information under this link: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2135

Every contribution that enhances the codebase’s safety, effectiveness, or readability is valuable! :)

Considering your availability and willingness to contribute, there are several areas where improvements are needed:

Bug tickets
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2492?filter=-1&jql=project%20%3D%20%22Apache%20Fineract%22%20%20AND%20type%20%3D%20Bug%20%20%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20order%20by%20created%20DESC 

Code maintainability / readability
We have a significant number of compilation warnings due to various reasons. I believe at least half of these warnings could be easily fixed. As we work on resolving these warnings, the codebase could become safer and easier to maintain.

All the rest of the stories
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2494?filter=-1&jql=project%20%3D%20%22Apache%20Fineract%22%20%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20order%20by%20created%20DESC 

All the rest of the stories that are considered beginner friendly
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2489?filter=-1&jql=project%20%3D%20%22Apache%20Fineract%22%20and%20labels%20IN%20(beginner-friendly%2C%20beginner%2C%20begineer%2C%20beginners%2C%20Beginner)%20%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20order%20by%20created%20DESC

Hopefully, this gives you some ideas!

P.S.: Before you pick up a story that describes a new feature to be introduced, please send an email to the Fineract DEV email list to discuss whether it’s something we really want to include in Fineract.

Regards,
Adam
