Re: Newcomer to Debian: Help wanted

Hi,

Firstly, thank you so much for such a quick response! It's really nice when the community responds to you so quickly, hopefully I can be a part of it in the coming near future :)

Mentioned briefly in first URL above, but I'd like to emphasize one
suggestion: Cosnider join (or at list get in touch with) the teams
relevant for your particular interests. Here's an incomplete list:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams

I looked at the teams, and I have sent a mail to pkg-GPG about joining and development there. This was mainly because I became interested in PGP/PKI Clean Room Project proposed by Daniel Pocock on his blog. (https://danielpocock.com/outreachy-gsoc-2017-pki-clean-room). Hopefully, they will get back to me!

I'll look at other teams as well! Any other path you suggest which will help me get acquainted with the org so that it will help with Gsoc?

Thank you,
