Hi Ann,

As you probably know most of the DS development is done at Red Hat, so I will reach out to you with info on our current in-house meeting schedule.  I wrote up a DS developer guide (best practices) a few years ago, so I will send that to you as well. I'm not sure off the top of my head if it discusses the code layout, but it would not be hard to add.

Anyway I'm excited to hear that you are interested in contributing to the project, and I, and I'm sure others, would be happy to help mentor you on the project as well.

Thanks for reaching out, and talk to you soon!

Mark

Hi everyone,

I'm Ann Pham , I'm working for Red Hat as Senior Technical Support Engineer. I'm specialized in Red Hat Identity Management, Red Hat DIrectory Server and sssd.

Since I'm most interested in Red Hat Directory Server, also I want to read and understand the source code and contribute to this project (389-DS), I'm joining this email group to receive update about the upstream and hopefully find some mentor who can help me to first understand and navigate through the project, and then start contributing to the source code of this project.

I'm based in Singapore, but I can join late meetings if any to understand how it works here.

I hope someone can invite me to these meetings, and if possible, share with me some documentation about the navigation through the components in source codes. I tried to read the code at GitHub but since this is a big project, I got lost in the middle.

Thanks a lot for reading and I appreciate your response for me to get started.

Have a good day 🙂

Ann Pham
