Hello! I find MonetDB as a software product interesting and would be interested in contributing to its development (and learning about In-Memory databases in the process) . The documentation for setting up the development environment and for getting the source code is pretty good, but I am missing a process description, how a volunteer can participate in the software development process. E.g. how are bugs assigned, how are patches submitted, what needs to be done besides code production? Is there a description of sorts? Best regards Jörg -- Jörg Strebel Aachener Straße 2 80804 München

E.g. how are bugs assigned, You could start by picking a bug, trying to fix it and then attach the patch to the bug description. We will have a a look at it for sure.
submitted, what needs to be done besides code production? Writing test cases for bugs without them is also a nice way of getting started.
Is there a description of sorts? Don’t think so
Best, Hannes

In addition, if you want to contribute code for feature extensions, you can just send your code to the mailing list. We’ll review it and apply it if possible. Thanks in advance for your interest in MonetDB! Regards, Jennie
