Hello Kafka Dev Team, I am Grace, and I’m excited about the possibility of contributing to Apache Kafka as I continue learning more about distributed systems. I’m currently exploring the codebase and reading through the documentation, but I’m finding some of the beginner tickets a bit challenging.
Since I’m still familiarizing myself with Kafka’s various components, I would be grateful for any guidance on beginner-friendly tasks or smaller contributions, such as documentation improvements, testing, or minor code fixes. I’m also open to working within subprojects like Kafka Connect or Kafka Streams, or any area where help is needed. Any recommendations on issues to start with or resources to deepen my understanding of Kafka would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to contributing! Best regards, Grace
