I have a strong interest in low level systems development and I have previously contributed minimally to a couple of open source organizations and I would love to start contributing to Git for the upcoming GSOC 2026 program. As suggested by Christian and Lucas in previous responses, I have read [1] and [2]. I look forward to becoming a part of the Git Community. 1. https://git.github.io/Hacking-Git/ 2. https://git.github.io/General-Microproject-Information/ Thanks Abraham. ``` ## Samuel Abraham, 2026-01-01 09:19 Subject: Re: [Gsoc] Early Introduction Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CADYq%2BfZ2gempytBwUKUMaV29mdHStueuMYMdqwM-7W_eyQ6znQ%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Mon, Dec 29, 2025 at 10:43 AM Samuel Abraham wrote: > > Hello Git Community, > > My name is Abraham Samuel Adekunle and I am excited to introduce myself to you. > I have a strong interest in low level systems development and I have previously > contributed minimally to a couple of open source organizations and I would > love to start contributing to Git for the upcoming GSOC 2026 program. > > As suggested by Christian and Lucas in previous responses, I have read > [1] and [2].
