They are good problems to\n   tackle, as you have a first-hand experience with them.  Don't\n   go hunting for \"problems to solve\".  That will likely end up\n   wasting your time (and reviewers' time as well).\n\n - Start by reading everything other people post, until you notice\n   whose posts are worth your time reading.  And then, concentrate\n   on following the discussion threads they are involved in, to\n   learn how the best discussions are carried out on this list.\n\nThanks.  \n"},{"id":"260476","messageId":"CAKB+oNuN3hFPtBxnXt6Ft0BxHiQduOFAcvXaCyVxHRTtZ5_5dw@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"39191","inReplyTo":"xmqqtwvtv9hv.fsf@gitster.dls.corp.google.com","subject":"Re: Contribute Code to Git","fromName":"Alangi Derick","fromEmail":"alangiderick@gmail.com","sentAt":"2015-05-03T17:50:01Z","receivedAt":"2015-05-03T17:50:01Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"alangiderick@gmail.com","avatar":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/f5878e69e83b4cf7ed499336c4a114dc2cb253253bc57c9b8ffcf0e129320795?d=mp&s=160"},"body":"Thanks for the advice Junio C Hamono.
