Thanks! I am currently studying the resources shared for rust. Once I begin the setup and run into issues I will let you know.
Hey!
Usually, when a CI check fails for Suricata repos, itās a good idea to proactively take a look. you can check what the error was, and that will give you a hint whether itās something with your commit, or a general issue (you can also check PRs or even recent commits by other folks, in case you are uncertain - if you see the same check failing in all recent PRs from other members as well, itās likely something not related to your code).
Checks which may fail and is ok, at this point: codecov. In my experience, sometimes CIFuzz also does that, but Iāve also had cases where it was my codeās fault.
If you try to figure out what is triggering a check failure but arenāt sure, itās also ok to ask in the PR, then other member may help you out with that. 
Hey all,
just wanted to share a few things about updating Redmine tickets:
- when you submit a PR, do share that on the ticket. For readability, and checking other tickets, I think itās more common to do it as a comment
- once youāve done that, you can keep it as is until your PR gets merged - when it is nice if you can once again update the ticket with a comment mentioning the merged PR
- then, you can change the status to closed
An example: Bug #4577: coverity: minor warnings - Suricata - Open Information Security Foundation
(Iām sharing these because this was something that confused myself, a few times, not so long ago)

I really enjoyed contributing to Suricata even though I could not do as much as I had hoped. Everyone was so welcoming. Made me feel like I was part of something bigger.

Thanks, Modupe, and thank you all for your efforts and contributions!
(and letās not forget @ish - he is also one of the mentors, and as important in this whole process as the others youāve mentioned ^^ )
I think itās a brave thing, to expose ourselves to a new community, a new process, and likely have to learn so many new things in such a short time. Sometimes, just coming to a community where we donāt know anyone and share questions or doubts, share our work, knowing others will review and give feedbackā¦ it can be scary. Iāve felt scared, somewhat.
But it also gives us the opportunity to meet folks that may become life-long friends, and pave paths that might help form new futures, for us.
Thanks for having dedicated your time to understanding and following as best as possible our contribution process and community guidelines.
As we have said before, you are all welcome to stick around and keep contributing, interacting, helping us make Suricata and its community better for everyone!
