Sachin, thanks a lot for your interest. Please read up on how to get started to contribute to ASF projects: https://www.apache.org/foundation/getinvolved.html In particular read about "how to become a committer", which is usually the first step before one gets invited to join the PMC: https://community.apache.org/contributors/ There is also more material about it on the Kafka web page: https://kafka.apache.org/community/developer/#becoming-a-committer More about "roles" in the ASF: https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works/#roles Hope this helps, -Matthias On 2/23/26 5:46 PM, Sachin Bal wrote: > Hello All, > > I too am interested in contributing to the PMC.
