Newbie. Want to get started

Hi,

I am new to open source contribution. I want to get started with apache
kafka. Can anyone help me find some bugs to work on and a mentor I can ask
for help?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Yaswanth Kumar

Thanks Matt! I will find a JIRA and start working on it.

Hi Yaswanth,

thanks for your interest in Kafka!

First, I would recommend to check out the wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Contributing+Code+Changes

Here is a list of component maintainers (but it seems not to be up to
date...)
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Maintainers

Also check out the JIRA boards:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1

You can just filter for components you are interested in and also filter
for JIRAs with label "newbie" (or similar) or priority "trival"/"minor"
to get started. If you found something interesting, just assign it to
yourself if unassigned (I guess you need to get permission first -- what
is you JIRA id? -- please share here at dev list, so we can add you as a
contributor). If a ticket is already assigned but it seems that nobody
is actively working on it, just post a comment and ask if you can talk
it over. All other question, can be discussed in the ticket comments, too.

Hope this helps to get started. Welcome to the community!

-Matthias
