Re: [geogig-dev] joining geogig community
Hi Sebastian,

welcome to the community. In order to start contributing all you need is pretty much what you've already done, present yourself and start talking! So thanks for your interest in the project.

In addition to Jody's reply, according to our CONTRIBUTING guidelines [1], my understanding is you shouldn't need to do any paperwork at least for this time around as your patch is less than 1000 lines.

That said I took a cursory look at your pull requests and made some comments. If you can update the MergeOp one with the proposed changed I'll be glad to further review and merge it.

Cheers,
Gabriel

Morning Sebastian:

Thanks for introducing yourself. All of your suggestions for getting involved are good ones.

We need to check you have signed the contribution agreement before accepting your pull requests, GitHub should've given you a "contributing" link when you submitted the pull request?

People general submit pull requests and gain the trust of the project team before being nominated as a committer. We also have a bit of work coming up as we juggle some of the dependencies prior to our initial release.

I have "just" removed the vecmath dependency from the upstream GeoTools project and we need to try out the result. 

There are a few other dependencies that we need to sort out, one of the more tricky ones is a java plugin library used to tie together the "osmosis" library. We need to see if we can remove the dependency by connecting just the osmosis classes we need for OSM import/export.  Worst case senario we will need to fork a few of the osmosis classes into our codebase, would like to reach out to the osmosis team before taking that step.

In anycase welcome to the project we look forward to working with you.

Hello everyone,

My name is Sebastian Schmidt, working as Software Architect at the IT Department of Stadtwerke München, an energy utilites company supplying the town of Munich in Bavaria, Germany with electricity, gas, water and some telecommunications.

My current business is development and maintainance of the company's GIS. Besides the main proprietary system, we're currently evaluating solutions based on open standards and preferably open source. Mainly for import and tracking edits of data coming from external data sources (cadastral data), we are setting up an environment based on PostGIS, QGIS and geogig.

We are highly interested in geogig as it seems a good solution for some of our major challenges as offline editing, historisation, branching and merging.

There are several possiblities how we could help for further development of geogig:
* We could contribute code. May it be bugfixing or new features (current work is around better performance with mass data/export diffs to PostGIS)
* We could contribute documentation. I found some minor issuses on the website and would be happy to help get them fixed somehow.
* If desired and helpful, we could do some translations into german.

Recently, my co-worker Michael Sieger has put one or two pull requests on github fixing some minor issues we found during evaluation. What can we do to get these merged into the project's code base?

I plan to come to Foss4G in Como, Italy in July this year, does any of the core developers happen to be there too? I'd be glad if we could meet in person and have a talk on these topics.

Kind regards,
Sebastian
