[Maria-developers] New programmer
Hello guys, I'm Acha Bill. Final year undergraduate in Computer Engineering. I would like to be an active contributor to your ongoing projects. I have good knowledge of C/C++ and MySQL. As this is my first approach to open source, any guidance will be much appreciated. Bill.
Hi Bill! Welcome to the MariaDB project. Have you read the contributing guides on the Knowledgebase? A good way to start is find some low hanging fruit in Jira, and then fix it (we're in github so you can submit a pull request when done). Let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Cheers.

You can check open issues at mariadb.org/jira and find something you want to do or fix. Or - as you have a good knowledge of MySQL (and much of that applies to MariaDB) - you might already have an idea of what you want to do. Otherwise it's just github - you fork the repository, you do your changes, you submit a pull request. If that sounds new - google it, there're lost of tutorials about collaborating on github. Regards, Sergei
Thank you. I'll look into your recommendations. Bill. On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 11:50 PM, Sergei Golubchik <serg@mariadb.org> wrote:
