Re: [mylyn-dev] Some Primary questions before beginning to contribute.

Thanks Sam.

I am setting up the whole system with Gerrit Git Mylyn etc... and will comeback on the issue you mentioned with my doubts/implemetations.

Thanks,
Surya.

Hi Surya,

Thanks for your interest in contributing. The first thing to look at is the contributor reference. That will answer a lot of your questions.

The process for  becoming a committer is that you must first make substantial contributions to a project (e.g. many bug fixes or some major features). If your contributions are of a high enough quality, someone may nominate you for committer rights, and then there would be an election where other committers could vote +1 or -1. Note that the Mylyn project is broken into several sub-projects and there's a separate election for committer rights on each one, e.g. someone might be a committer on Mylyn Tasks but not Mylyn Context.

All contributions must go through Gerrit. Each contribution must get a +2 from a committer and and a +1 from Hudson (passing build) before it can be merged.

We have not decided on a date for the next release - it will happen when we have enough changes to make it worthwhile. There will be a release in September for Luna SR1 but it may only be a service release (see bug 439453).

As for where to contribute, any open bug that is assigned to mylyn-triaged@xxxxxxxxxxx would be very useful. Here's one you might find interesting:

218896: [patch][editor] display changes of old -> new values
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=218896

I already pushed a review to Gerrit but it needs more work and I won't have time to get back to it in the near future. Feel free to push a new review to Gerrit.

Cheers,
Sam

Hi,
     My Name is Surya. I would like to contribute to Mylin. Down to point, I have some questions.
1. I want to become a committer in the future. Can anybody help me with the process, steps and mentor me so that i will get necessary experience setup and mindset?
2. At what level I need Gerrit access. The question is whether every contribution should go through Gerrit or a simple Git commit record is sufficient for bug fixes.
3. What is the workflow for acceptance of a contribution?
4. When is the next release and how do I know what bugs/components are the places which I can contribute.


Thanks,
Surya.
