My name is Charles Promise, and I’m thrilled to be joining you as an Outreachy intern. I’ve been matched with the Suricata project, and I’m genuinely excited to start learning, collaborating, and contributing to the work you’re doing here.
I have a background in cybersecurity and software testing, and I’m particularly eager to deepen my understanding of network security monitoring and open-source development through this experience. I’m looking forward to engaging with the team, exploring the codebase, and contributing wherever I can add value.
Thank you for welcoming me, I’m very happy to be here and can’t wait to get started!

I’m Nirnay Roy. I am an applicant for Outreachy and excited to contribute to and learn from the community. I would like to request a dev role for the contributing to the issue # 5711
Please look for tickets that are not assigned to anyone yet, I see that #5711 was claimed by Charles P a day ago. My suggestion is that you look through the tickets that are assigned as Community Tickets
Hello there, and welcome! As you’ve pointed yourself, it is indeed a bit late in the process, so you may need to learn and get started on everything somewhat faster.
The good news is that a lot of questions and answers have already happened in our Discord server, so hopefully that may save you some time, too.
Be sure to check the post about the midway checkpoint, that I posted today. And happy contribution phase!
