Apache SeaTunnel ushered in a contributor from abroad! Arif GÖRE is a university student from Istanbul/Turkey. He got to know Apache SeaTunnel and contribute because of a Helm chart for an open-source project for his internship.

I am Arif GÖRE, a university student from Istanbul/Turkey, and this is my fourth year in the computer engineering (a.k.a. computer science) department of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University.

The thing I do most in my free time is to walk and think, I think we can count that as a hobby.

My contribution to Apache SeaTunnel

I added Helm charts for Apache SeaTunnel Flink and Apache SeaTunnel Spark. That made it quite easier to set up Apache SeaTunnel in a Kubernetes cluster.

Why do I make a contribution to Apache SeaTunnel? That’s because I needed to make a Helm chart for an open-source project for my internship. While I was searching in CNCF Landscape for a project that didn’t have a Helm chart, I saw Apache SeaTunnel. The community was active and had many contributors, so I thought it was a good option.

My view on open-source

I have had sympathy for free software and open source since my first year at university. My teacher Necdet YÜCEL was very effective at this. I love free/open source because of several reasons. A few most important of them;

It doesn’t require users to trust any individual, small group, or company.
It is progressive. Not everyone has to do the same things over and over. Take some existing project, improve them, and publish it.
It is great learning material and a good starting point for inexperienced people like me. It’s better than starting new projects from scratch.

The Apache SeaTunnel community impressed me!

I simply liked it. Everyone I contacted so far was very kind and ready to help. This was my first time contributing to an open-source project. I experienced working with an international community. And thanks to this process, I feel more comfortable about getting involved in such groups.

With more and more contributors and users coming from abroad, Apache SeaTunnel is heading ahead to a broader international stage, welcoming more people interested in open-source joining and making Apache SeaTunnel greater together.
