Introduction - An Outreachy 2020 Applicant

[Amanda Shafack]

Good day.

I am Amanda Shafack, an Outreachy 2020 applicant who wishes to
contribute to the "Add Git protocol support to Wireshark" project.

In addition, I have some experience coding in C and I hope to enhance
my skill set by contributing to this project.

I am currently going through the project description and contribution
guidelines.

Thanks.

Cheers!

Welcome!

Since this project would involve Git (for Git protocol) and Wireshark
(where the dissector goes), we're comfortable working with you on
contributions to both Git and Wireshark during the application[1]
period.

https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/wikis/Development/ has some
pointers on getting started with Wireshark development.  I'm cc-ing
the wireshark developers list in case they have suggestions for an
approachable "first patch" idea to get used to that project's
contribution flow.

It's also a good idea to build and run wireshark and see if anything
strikes your eye as something you'd be interested in seeing work
differently.

For Git we have some suggestions for microprojects at
https://git.github.io/Outreachy-21-Microprojects/

Thanks for writing, and I look forward to working with you.  These are
two open source projects that I love and I hope you enjoy working with
them, too. :)

Sincerely,
Jonathan

Ahem, actually cc-ing that list this time.  Sorry for the noise.

Thanks for the details, Jonathan.
I'll get right on it

Perhaps Amanda could resend her introduction on the wireshark-dev
mailing list because this is the list for development type questions
and will get better responses for developer-type questions.

Seconded! We're glad to have your interest. Jonathan and I tend to both
be available on IRC (#git-devel on Freenode) if you find you would
benefit from some real-time assistance; Jonathan goes by jrnieder and I
go by nasamuffin there. In general, everyone on both projects is motivated
to help you get through your application microproject as painlessly as
possible, so don't be shy if you feel stuck!

I'm a little confused - did you mean a different list than
wireshark-dev? I think Jonathan did cc the wireshark-dev list.
