Hello everyone,

I’m Ananay Sharma, a 2nd-year undergraduate student in Computer Science.
For the past few months, I have been learning how computer systems work and
studying Operating Systems through the UCB OS lectures. I found FreeBSD
fascinating and would really love to contribute to it in the future.

However, I don’t use FreeBSD regularly and I’m not sure where to start or
how its components work in practice. I would greatly appreciate any advice
on how to begin learning about FreeBSD development or how to get involved
with small contributions.

Thank you very much for your time.

Best regards,
Ananay Sharma
