Regarding Updates, Slack and Contribution

Respected everyone,


  1.  Hello everyone, I am new to this community, and I have just joined today.
  2.  Can anyone please tell me how I can join slack channel of ASF (Apache Software Foundation) as I don’t have apache.org email address. Also, it would help me to know the community as well as know about the current workings on the project.
  3.  Also, can anyone please guide me towards the contribution procedure and guidelines If I want to start contributing.
  4.  I am little confused after going through the ASF website.

Regards
Thanking You

Hi Siddharth,

1. Thank you for helping. I have decided the project i want to work on. Is

You need to subscribe & reach out the dev list of that project and some
maintainer would be able to send you an invite to join their project
channel, if they have one.

2. I had a doubt, do we have to sign an official agreement or something
> before contributing into any ASF project or we can directly start over

Filing ICLA isn't mandatory for contributors. You can just jump on the
issues

Good Luck!!

Hello there,

1. Thank you for helping. I have decided the project i want to work on. Is
it possible that I can be added in slack as I don't have the apache.org email
address

2. I had a doubt, do we have to sign an official agreement or something
before contributing into any ASF project or we can directly start over
through GitHub?

Regards
Thanking You

It can indeed be confusing, since each project has slightly different cultural norms and processes.

I would encourage you to start here — https://community.apache.org/contributors/ — for an overview of what contributing to an Apache project looks like, in most cases.
