Hi Lars, I'm already on #unikraft with the registered username - kanik. My timezone is UTC+5:30h and I can be available for a chat at any time of the day post noon usually.
I have subscribed to the mailing lists and gone through the documentation at https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Submitting_Xen_Project_Patches#How_to_Generate.2C_and_Submit_a_Xen_Project_Patch_to_MiniOS_and_Unikraft thoroughly. Also, I have completed the first task you suggested, that is, to build the hello world app. Below is the screenshot of it running on my system. [image: Inline image 1] Keeping my skill set and experience in mind, I'm mostly interested in and suitable for projects - Enhanced Profiling and Tracing Support for Unikraft and High-level Language Support with Unikraft. I was having my exams this week and hence, couldn't start with much force but now, I'm all pumped up to make significant contributions. :D If there are not many people already working on it, please, let me know the next steps to begin contributing. Thank you!
