Hi Henrique, Welcome to the community! It's awesome that you're jumping into Open Source with Fineract.
I’d suggest getting familiar with the Java/Spring ecosystem if you haven’t already. Also, make sure to check out the README.md <https://github.com/apache/fineract/blob/develop/README.md> and CONTRIBUTING.md <https://github.com/apache/fineract/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md>—they'll walk you through setting up the project and explain how to make your first contribution. Once you’re set up, you can pick a JIRA issue that interests you to work on. Personally, I started with something simple like Lombok <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-1586> because it didn’t involve too much complex logic and was a nice introduction. Just a heads-up, the beginning is often the hardest part ;) Don’t worry if you hit some roadblocks early on—that’s totally normal! Just keep at it, and things will start clicking. Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you need any help!
