HI Folks!
Welcome to the community! We're very excited to have you on board
with us.
I think https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/13261
<https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/13261>already has a fix or
more underway by the original reporter. I don't think that work has
been started on https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/13261
<https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/13261>though and I've
assigned that to myself as I wasn't able to assign it to @kbaran. Any
other issues that you're interested in, just add a reply to them letting
people know that you're working on it.
As far as developer documentation goes, we have stuff scattered all
about, but not one central location. That might be a good project for
you all to undertake. Most of our developer docs live in README.md
files on the GitHub site. We also have the https://podman.io site which
has a number of links to blog posts and blog posts on the site. An
"Introduction to Podman Development" might be a good first document for
you all to work on. You could document your own experiences as you
learn how to contribute to the project and also perhaps talk about
Podman at an introductory level too.
That's a first hit for you. As far as communication goes, there are
a number of options. The majority of the maintainers live on IRC and we
use Matrix so that you can also use Discord and other communiction
channels if you're not into IRC. Although we are also on slack, at the
moment we don't monitor that as closely. For more pointers on the
comms, check out:
https://podman.io/community/#slack-irc-matrix-and-discord . As an FYI,
we have several maintainers in Europe, then scattered across the USA,
and also India. Generally the channels are most often monitored from
about 3:00 a.m. Eaastern (UTC-4) through 7:00 p.m. Mon->Fri. Today's a
light day for the maintainers as a lot of us work for Red Hat and we
have the day off today.
Again, welcome! Feel free to ping me directly if you have
questions, this email list is also a good place to send questions to.
Best Wishes,

Dear maintainers of the Podmanrepository,
We are a group of four computer science master students from the Delft
University of Technology in the Netherlands following the course
IN4315 SoftwareArchitecture (https://se.ewi.tudelft.nl/delftswa/
<https://se.ewi.tudelft.nl/delftswa/>).For this course we have chosen
an open-source project to contribute to in the following eight weeks.
Our group picked the Podman project,and we will therefore make a set
of contributions forour project.
The project consists of two parts: firstly, we will write four essays
discussing architecture choices that we will publish on
https://desosa2022.netlify.app/ <https://desosa2022.netlify.app/>;.
Secondly, we need to make between three and six code/documentation
contributions to your repository to learn the workflow for
contributing and to be able to dive deeper into the analysis. This is
our first time contributing to open-source projects, and we are
looking forward to assistingyou with valuable contributions wherever
it is most appropriate.
We would greatly appreciate itif it would be possible to open a
channel of communication with you, where we could get some guidance
and feedback on the contributions we produce.We are currently in the
process of choosing the most appropriate issues to focus on throughout
the duration of the course. We plan to contribute to increasingly more
complex tasks as we become more familiar with the system, but it would
be of great benefit to us if you could suggest some possible starting
points, such as perhaps good first issues to focus on.
We have already gone through the process of selecting some issues that
may be practical first choices, such as
https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/13261
<https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/13261>and
https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/13266
<https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/13266>;. If there are more
appropriate contributions to focus on for our group, we would be happy
to consider them!
Also,we checked the /doc directory in the repositoryand the published
documentation on the podman website. It seems to us that they are
mainly functioning as a guide for users. It would be nice if you could
direct us to some technical, developer-centric documentation. Or if
such a portal is not yet available, perhaps this could be one of our
initial contributions?
Thank you for your time and consideration.If you have any questions or
remarks,feel free to reach out tous through email or GitHub.
Kind regards,
KrzysztofBaran @kbaran
