Hi,

I am interested in contributing to the MariaDB project. Can someone guide me on how to get started. I am proficient in C, C++, python and SQL.

Are you asking because you plan to participate in this year GSoC? Then: First, a disclaimer - we don't know if MariaDB will be approved to participate in GSoC 2016. We are definitely going to apply, though. You can see what projects we were offering for previous GSoC's: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/google-summer-of-code-2013/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/google-summer-of-code-2014/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/google-summer-of-code-2015/ we don't have a list of projects for 2016, that will be ready when we're approved. But most probably we'll offer at least some projects that weren't done in previous years. As for the small tasks to do now - we don't have this list yet either. You can see what bugs are open in mariadb.org/jira Regards, Sergei Chief Architect MariaDB and security@mariadb.org -- Vote for my Percona Live 2016 talks: https://www.percona.com/live/data-performance-conference-2016/sessions/maria... https://www.percona.com/live/data-performance-conference-2016/sessions/maria...
