Contributing to Cassovary

[Shrikrishna Holla]

Hey guys!

This is Shrikrishna Holla and Vinod Kumar L from Bangalore, India. We are currently final year undergrad students at PES Institute of Technology, Bangalore.

We have taken up a course this semester on "Architecture of Open Source Technologies" and one of the activities involves contributing to an open source community.

While we were scouring Github and google-melange for interesting projects, we came across Cassovary, which is a flexible and scalable graph processing library. We find this project very fascinating and wish to contribute our bit.

We did not find any feature requests in the github issues page, so wondered whether the mailing lists would provide a clue as to any feature/enhancement we could possibly work on.

As to our technical skills, we are familiar with object oriented and functional programming paradigms, but have no working experience in Scala (but are confident of picking it up easily). We will be able to contribute ~6 hours per week per person x 3 months.

Please let us know whether there is anything that you guys have that we can help you with.

PS: Although our excuse to contribute is to work as part of a project, if we do end up working with the community, we are in for the long haul as we intend to maintain the code we write

Regards,

Shrikrishna Holla

Welcome!

How about starting with an outstanding feature request -- that of upgrading to scala 2.10 for a start?

Hello Pankaj,

Could you give us a brief description on the requirements and the deliverable.
Thanks

Hey,

So we will be starting off with the idea suggested by @pankaj. You will find our fork here, where we will be working on the port. We would love to know whether there is any specific suggestion you have that we should keep in mind. We will be diving into the code once we are completely familiar with the differences between Scala 2.9.3 and 2.10 and determine the particular modules that would be affected. Would you prefer that we keep you updated with the progress or would a final pull request suffice?

On a side note, is there a cassovary channel on IRC?

[Pankaj Gupta]

Great! No, no irc channel -- please keep using this list and github for questions and comments.
