Thanks Scott for your kind reply.
I have seen the discussion on ECF GSOC proposal by Sakith
Indua. In any case, I would like to contribute towards ECF
later on because I'm very passionate towards it. Will this be
possible?
Absolutely. The way ECF works is that people that wish to
contribute can just begin contributing...often through identifying
and then fixing bugs, or adding to the documentation, then making
code contributions. Everything is in the open, so this is not as
difficult as it might seem for a new contributor. We can and will
help you get oriented, find various resources, etc. This list can
always be used, but we can/will have individual meetings and/or
conference calls if necessary and desired.
Then, after getting some experience contributing, if you wish to
become an ECF committer the existing committers can/will nominate
and vote to add you as a committer. The existing committers will
of course want to become familiar with your work, and through
experience working with you know that your contributions are of high
quality...as well as know that you are able to learn and use good
open source/open project/open collaboration principals. For your
reference, here's [1] a EF document describing how the committer
nomination and election process works.
But before all that, the important thing is for you to begin
contributing...on something that you find appealing and
interesting. So the first thing to figure out is...what would you
like to work on first? (e.g. bugs, docs, certain parts/APIs within
ECF, etc). Feel free to ask questions about anything, of course,
and we will try to help you figure this out.
Scott
Thanking you,
Ashu Rashid
