When I start a new project I like to read the docs. See if I can build it and look for any gaps in their docs.

hello everyone,

I am a trainee software engineer in wso2 and a computer science and engineering undergraduate who works on docker, Kubernetes, and go technologies mostly and would like to start contributing to the Armada project as well! So nice to meet with the community! I have also found some interesting projects in gsoc 2023. Additionally, since I am new to Armada Project, I would really appreciate it if you can point out some guidance or some good first issues. Thank you in advance!

We are very interested in everyone's willingness to contribute.

I suggest getting familiar with our project.

I've created some other issues for people to play around with. We are excited to have this much interest but I ask that you don't take this project unless you are officially allowed to do so via GSOC application.

Hey kannon92 can you tell us which issues you open to play around with to get familiar with the armada ?

Hello! I'm also very interested in this project. I learned about armada from CNCF's GSoC idea list, which is a great job scheduler.

It just so happens that the technology stack of the project fits me well. I've developed many CLI applications using Golang, and most of them have received praise from users. The experience of reading the kubectl source code will also help me learn krew quickly.

I'm tring to learn about armada and looking into the krew. Could you let me know about any materials or resources that I should learn to get a better understanding of the project and its requirements? Thanks!

Please look at issues we tagged good-first-issues. I also suggest making sure you can follow our docs and get a dev setup.

GSOC information is here: https://github.com/cncf/mentoring/discussions/848

elijah0kello sir I would like to work on this one what I can do is provides a "submit" subcommand that allows users to submit a batch job to a specified Kubernetes cluster with various configuration options, such as the number of tasks to run and input files and parameters for the job.

➤ Xinwei Xiong commented:

How many people do you need for this function? One person？

[sync-by-unito[bot]]

➤ Kevin Hannon commented:

Yes. GSOC does not allow multiple people working on this. For google summer of code, you have to write up a proposal for your implementation plan. CNCF chooses the application and that person implements this ticket.

➤ Abhishek Kumar commented:

CNCF chooses the right candidate?
