Robert Metzger will introduce you to the various ways of contributing to Apache Flink. We will start by an introduction into the Apache Software Foundation, its history and present-day status, and where Apache Flink fits within the Foundation. We’ll then give an overview of the different areas to contribute, and what to consider in those areas. For example, how can I help users best on the user@flink mailing list, how are decisions being made in the community, how can I help with Flink releases or how can I contribute code to the project.
