Greetings, I’m a final-year university student with some extra time this semester, and I’d like to contribute to OpenAFS (outside of GSoC). I have a strong background in C, C++, networking, and low-level programming. Previously, I contributed to a C++ project through GSoC (link<https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2024/projects/ggfpoLfF>) and interned in a C++-focused role at a high-frequency trading firm. I wanted to talk about the “netcat for rx” project idea, as I’m particularly interested in gaining more experience with network protocols. That said, my broader goal is to work on higher-priority issues; ideally ones that will help me get better at navigating large codebases, ramping up quickly on new projects, and contributing independently. Could you kindly suggest good starting points, or if there are other areas where contributions would be especially valuable to the community? Best regards, Ujjwal Shekhar P.S: I’ve successfully built OpenAFS from source as of now.
