Hey folks,

I recently published Little Raft, a small Raft library that let's you run your own distributed state machine. There are a few open tasks that I listed in the issue tracker, ranging from simple newcomer stuff to actually implementing some optimization suggestions from the original Raft paper.

New contributors are super welcome. Every issue is annotated and labeled: https://github.com/andreev-io/little-raft/issues.

Hey people,

Would it be possible to add this issue on roaring-rs - fast and efficient operations on bunch of integers, designed by Daniel Lemire. https://github.com/RoaringBitmap/roaring-rs/issues/113.

Thank you very much for the hard work you do,
Waiting impatiently for the next TWIR :unicorn:

Hey folks! Here are some issues from the jsonschema crate :slight_smile:

Some of them will help to bring JSON Schema 2019-09 & 2020-12 support, which is much desired by the users :slight_smile:
I'd be happy to provide mentoring from my side

The Cargo Team are using E-* labels to mark things we want help with, this week month we added:

Cargo should warn when "include" doesn't match any files, or filters files from parent directories
Don't do a full scan on first build
"failed to determine package fingerprint for build script" caused by a symlink pointing to an unreadable directory
cargo:rustc-link-args not applied to doctest builds
Failure to resolve a package name when used together with other packages
Cargo gets lost in the root of a Linux filesystem
cargo metadata doesn't indicate that feature-enabled transitive platform-specific deps are platform-specific

Hi folks! Ockam has a few Issues we're looking for help with:

395

Hello,

I recently made a new project called paccat. It's a simple tool to print files from pacman packages.

As it's a new project there's plenty of issues open and features to implement. Most of them are quite easy and labelled with "good first issue". The rest are a little more involved but should still be rather straight forward.

Do note this project links to ALPM (archlinux package management library) and as such requires pacman to be installed to run. So this is rather limited to arch users (or people adventurous enough to build pacman on their distro).

Current open issues are:

I am happy to mentor and walk people through implementing these.

We're of course happy to mentor people through these.

Create a better and faster orchestration tool for containerized (docker/youki) for now just docker applications.
GitHub - vsilent/stackdog: Docker Container Management with Rust. You are very welcome!

If somebody is interested in helping with this issue, there is something to learn from the artistic side (Blender users) as well as from the programming side (Rust coders).

Hi, ockam again :sweat_smile:. Here are some (slightly more newbie-friendly) issues about cleaning up and moving around imports/exports in our crates.

The help would be appreciated.
