Willing to contribute !

[Christine Fong]

Hi Apache Flink community !

My name is Christine Fong. I'm a 3rd year Computer Science student at EISTI
Engineering school, France, and I wondered if I could join the team during
this summer (maybe even longer) and contribute.

I have some basic knowledge of machine learning, data mining, statistics,
parallel computing and Java programming. But I'm still new to Big data and
open-source, two cool things I'm really eager to learn about :D.

Should I choose anything, I hope I can work on the spatial data processing
library project I found on the GSoC page (here
<https://github.com/stratosphere/stratosphere/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2014#spatial-data-processing-library-for-stratosphere>).
I would certainly need the guidance of a mentor, though. But if I can help
in any other ways, feel free to ask.

Thanks,
Christine Fong

Hi Christine!

Happy to hear that you are interested in contributing. The spatial data
processing is a fun and challenging topic.

We are currently creating a set of "how to get started" and "how to
contribute" docs. We hope to have a first version ready in the next days.
Until then, I can point you to the documentation of the predecessor project
"Stratosphere", which evolved into Flink: http://stratosphere.eu/docs/0.5/

Greetings,
Stephan

Thank you very much for your greetings and suggestion, Stefan :D. Are you
another contributor ? Nice to meet you.

As you recommended, I've started to familiarize myself with Flink using the
stratophere.eu website as a reference, and I look forward to see the new
docs. Until then, do you know any good book or document about spatial data
processing I could consult? Especially about fuzzy special join, spatial
partitioning and indexing, as the project states. It would be cool to learn
more in the meantime.

And so, I almost forgot to congratulate the team...
Congratulations to Flink/Stratosphere for becoming an Apache Incubator
project!

Hi Christine,

we had some discussions with students interested in the spatial data
processing library GSOC project on our former the mailing list.
Here are some pointers into the archive that you might find interesting:

Hi!

There is also a new guide online:
