Hi all, I'm Akarsh, a complete beginner trying to get into Debian contribution. I've requested access to salsa.debian account (still pending approval) and I'm just getting started figuring out where to begin and what to read up on first. I'd love some direction on where a newcomer like me could realistically start a good team, a small bug, or anything hands-on. Happy to put in the effort, just want to point it in the right direction.
As I mentioned in private yesterday, you can try having a look at packaging. It's what a lot of beginners try to do in Debian.
To know more about packaging, you can read this wiki page: https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging
Here's a New Maintainer Handbook if you want to try it out: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/index.en.html
You can take a look at existing RFPs [1] here and see if something interests you.
If you have any more questions to ask about packaging, you can join us on irc at #debian-mentors on OFTC or on matrix at #debian-mentors:matrix.debian.social
