This week we finalized the decision to contribute to Pandas. Everyone in our group was able to successfully install the development environment for Pandas. We started to get familiar with the Pandas project, the community, and its codebase. We also by join the project Slack for easier communication. We started to find places in the project where we can contribute to. We first looked at some issues tagged “good first issues”, but many of them were already assigned to other contributors. We then looked at documentation related issues and testing related issues. The plan is to find an issue in these to categories and claim it as a starting point. We have also made plans to join the Pandas developers meetings that happens every Wednesday, although the one this week was canceled. Maybe we can learn more about making first contributions in the meeting

After watching the reports by the other groups, it seems like some other groups know very well what they want to do, and what new features they want to contribute to the project. I think we can take inpiration from them on what we can contribute to Pandas. However, I do believe that we are on schedule with our pace on contributing. Our group has everything set up and are ready to contribute to Pandas once we decide on a issue.
