Re: [ANNOUNCE] New Kafka PMC member: Andrew Schofield

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
