  Apache Camel is an Apache Software Foundation project, all communication is done in the open on the project mailing lists. You can https://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html[read more on the reasoning behind this] to get a better understanding of this.
  
  All communication is subject to the https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct.html[ASF Code of Conduct].
  
  There are various ways of communicating with the Camel community.
  
  For questions and guidance around contributing subscribe to the developer's mailing list by sending an e-mail to dev-subscribe@camel.apache.org.
  
  We can also be reached on the Gitter chat at https://gitter.im/apache/apache-camel/.
  
  We track issues using https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL[ASF Jira], look for https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12348073[some easy to resolve issues] or issues we https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12348074[need help with].
  
  When you're ready to contribute create a Pull request to one of the Camel projects you can find under the Apache organization https://github.com/apache?q=camel[on GitHub].
  
  Expect that your Pull request will receive a review and that you will need to respond and correspond to that via comments at GitHub.
