[Outreachy] Introduction

[Message previously sent as rich text to both git@vger.kernel.org and wireshark-dev@wireshark.org, re-sending to the git ml as plain text from a different account, apologies for the inconvenience]

Hi everyone,

I'm Joey Salazar, an Outreachy 2020 applicant certified in CCNA and Linux+, with some experience in C for both private and open source repositories (BIND at gitlab.isc.org/Joey), community code reviews, and automated tests in bash. I'd like to contribute to the "Add Git protocol support to Wireshark" project and improve my skills, yet remain open to a different project if that'd be preferable.

I have installed and built git, followed git.github.io/General-Microproject-Information and checked the sample email thread [1], as well as the tutorial git-scm.com/docs/MyFirstContribution and created the psuh command files here [2].

After following the git.github.io/Outreachy-21-Microprojects page I'd like to work on the 'Use test_path_is_* functions in test scripts', and given that Charvi Mendiratta might be working on tests t7101,t7102 and t7201 as per this ml thread [3], I'd like to check with the group if working on tests t7006 and t7300 would be ok.

In parallel, I'm following gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/wikis/Development as suggested through the #git-devel IRC channel and will follow that up with the overview of Git's HTTP protocol in the Pro Git book [4].

All guidance much appreciated, I'm very looking forward to working together!

Joey
