[Podman] Re: Podman contribution inquiry

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 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 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.

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 for our 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/. 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 assisting you with valuable contributions wherever it is most appropriate. We would greatly appreciate it if 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 and 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 repository and 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 to us through email or GitHub.
