Introduction and Contribution Help

[Myles Baker]

Hi all,

I just wanted to introduce myself - I am interested in Ignite and have been lurking for a while. I’ve been working in high performance computing for my entire career, starting at NASA followed by working at software companies and providing consulting services. I deal with data problems daily and appreciate data grids for scalability and performance challenges.

So, the next step for my interest in Ignite is to start contributing to the project and understanding it at a deeper level technically. I’ve been following the  <http://a%20href=https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IGNITE/How+to+Contribute#HowtoContribute-Workflow>instructions for contributing <http://a href=https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IGNITE/How+to+Contribute#HowtoContribute-Workflow>, but I'm having trouble finding a good entry point for me to start contributing. I found a few newbie tickets that might be a good place to start: IGNITE-2049 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-2049> and IGNITE-2895 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-2895>. However, these either use specific systems that I can’t test or reference the EA process, which I’m unfamiliar with.

Any opinions? Other tickets that might be a better entry point for someone who has programmed in the JVM before?

Thanks,
Myles

Hi Myles,

Welcome to the Ignite community!

How about this ticket? Looks like it could be a good entry point one:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-1794

Good afternoon Dmitriy,

Thank you for the warm welcome. I should be able to knock out this issue and send you a PR by the end of the day (or maybe the weekend). I cannot assign this issue to myself in JIRA yet. Should I just worry about that after I’ve implemented the fix?

Thanks,
Myles

Hi Myles,

I need to add you to the list of Jira contributors. Can you tell me your
Jira username?
