New contributor

Hello everyone,

  I am a new contributor (well soon to be!) to this project and I am just
getting to know the ropes around the framework.

  I love what flink is about which is what makes me want to contribute to
it.

  I have read the documentation and will still re-read it a couple more
times. I am glancing now over the Jira issues for easy starters to see what
I can pick up.

  Besides these steps, could any one give me pointers as to where to look
in the code in order to understand it better?

  I know tests are a great example of that, are there any classes in
particular I should look into so I can start to get a better grasp of the
framework as a whole?

Many thanks,
Nuno santos.

Hi.

FLINK-2021 and FLINK-2066 are good issue to start contributing to Flink. :)
You can choose any issues which you want.

If you want contribute the issues, assign the issues to you in JIRA. If you don’t have permission,
just comment in JIRA, then we’ll give the permission to you.

As you know, you can contribute easily and safely with "How to Contribute” guide[1] in web page.
But if you have questions, just post a mail to dev mailing list. We should reply your mail.

I hope your time spent will be enjoyable.

Regards,
Chiwan Park

Hi Ufuk.

  Thanks for the welcome! I have also checked those pages and will revisit
them until it is carved into my brain. :)

  I found a couple of issues that seem to be a good shot, namely:

  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2066

  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2021

  If you have any pointers as to which one would be best to start, please
shout.

  If not, I'll just pick one and start digging into this.

  I want to see if I can understand this well so I can get involved in the
user mailing list as well.

Thanks!
Nuno

Hey nuno! Welcome to the Flink community. :) The points you mentioned sound
very reasonable. There is also a how to contribute guide and a coding
guidelines document on the web page you can check out. Is there a specific
starter issue you are interested in? Then it will be easier to give
pointers to the respective parts of the system you can look into.
