-------------------------------------------

Hi [~mcypark],

I'm Sachith Senarathne from Sri Lanka and a 3rd year undergraduate of Informatic Institute of Technology (degree origin from University of Westminster , UK). I'm really interested in this project idea (epic) and like to spend my summer vacation on this. C++ is my foundation language for everything in programming. I have some experience in linting tools and much more enthusiastic since this is a kind of innovative idea made by yourself. So please be kind enough to guide me through the steps which I need to take in order to contribute to this project. 

Thanks in Advance
Sachith

> While {{cpplint}} has been a useful tool as a C++ linter for quite some time,
> It carries limitations since it does its best without actually parsing C++.
> [ClangTidy|http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/] is a clang tool that is based
> off of Clang, and has the advantage that it has access to a full AST.
> There are many checks that come built-in with {{clang-tidy}} which are very useful,
> but we can extend it to fit Mesos coding style and patterns as well.
> The initial phase of the project will be to create a basis with which to leverage
> the existing checks as applicable to Mesos, then to create a scaffolding to add
> custom checks, and ways to integrate the custom checks to infrastructure such
> as Mesos ReviewBot, or Apache CI.
> I've done some preliminary, experimental work for this for a Hackathon project
> and have given a [presentation|https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1z_qGzpY7Mt46TXxuLRW6M5HcCWBLRz6UJfd4bPknYeg/edit?usp=sharing]
