newcomer looking for direction.

[Ekin Geçikligün]

Hi,

I am Ekin; an Akka fan, totally in love with the science, philosophy and execution behind it. I also am Infrastructure Tech Lead in VNGRS, Typesafe partner in Istanbul, Turkey. We develop most our systems on Akka, and I believe it is time I begin my own contributions to the project. I read Developer Guidelines and signed the License Agreement. However, I still am confused and need direction.

Following some advice in the mail archive, I began by checking out community-contrib labelled issues; found one, which is https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/17023; and implemented it as suggested. But was I supposed to do this? How do I know this issue is already accepted for implementation? Should I go on and open a PR, or should I wait to be assigned this issue, first? If so, how do I propose my candidacy?

Cheers,

Ekin.

I'm glad to see that you would like to contribute.

That looks like a valid ticket and good for first contribution. Please open a PR.

When picking issues you may first start a discussion, here at akka-dev or in the issue, just to make sure that the issue is still valid. Sometimes a discussion of the solution might be needed before implementing it. There is no good way to assign external contributors to github issues, but a comment in the ticket is good enough.

I hope that clarifies things. Looking forward to the PR.

Cheers,

Patrik
