Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-7181:
--------------------------------------
Welcome to the community, [~nkelkar]!
1. In general, you would only assign a Jira ticket to yourself if you intended
to fix it. You can leave it unassigned if you don't know who will work on it.
For example, this ticket wouldn't be assigned to you ... but actually questions
like these don't belong in the Jira, they should be sent to
dev@hive.apache.org. Have you joined the Hive mailing lists yet? (See link
below.)
2. We don't have QA assignees, or if we do it's news to me.
3. See the contributor documentation in the wiki ("How to Contribute").
4. Good question -- I keep a list of Jira usernames which I'll post in a
separate comment, but it's far from complete. The wiki has a People page which
links to a chart & list of contributors. But you can just type "@firstName
lastName" in the comment box and a list of possibilities will appear, then
click on one of them to insert the tag.

> Hi All!
> I've just started to use Apache's Jira board (I registered today). I've used
> Jira for my work before, so I know how to navigate within Jira. But my main
> question, was understanding how issues are handled in the open source
> community (to which I want to contribute, but I'm a noob here too). So
> basically, a person comes up with a ticket when he/she thinks that the issue
> they are facing, is a bug/improvement.
> Questions:
> 1. Whom am I supposed to assign the ticket to? (myself?)
> 2. Who would be the QA assignee?
> 3. If addressing the issue requires looking at the code, how am I supposed to
> change the code and bring into effect those changes? (At work, we maintain a
> Git repo on our private server. So everyone always has access to the latest
> code).
> 4. Where can I find a list of all the people who are active on this project
> (Hive)? It would be nice if I could tag people by their names in my ticket
> comments.
> 5. Where can I find well formatted documentation about how to take issues
> from discovery to fixture on Apache Jira?
> I apologize in advance, if my questions are too simple.
> Thanks, and any/all help is appreciated!
