How to implement kafka-connect using apache-kaka instead of confluent

I would like to use an open source version of kafka-connect instead of the confluent one as it appears that confluent cli is not for production and only for dev. I would like to be able to listen to changes on mysql database on aws ec2. Can someone point me in the right direction.
