Hello, I want to welcome everyone to our community and encourage your participation! I have been working on FoundationDB for 8 years, and excited to be leading the open source project. Contributions to the project can take many forms, including patches to the core, documentation and tutorials, as well as offering a hand to someone right here on the forums. Our [Contribution Guide](https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) is a good place to start. And please remember to treat others with respect, according to our [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). Cheers, Ben ---
