Looking to Get Started with CNCF Contributions – Seeking Guidance

[Nikhil713]

Hello,
I hope you're doing well! My name is Nikhil Babu, and I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Computer Science degree in Germany. I have some experience working with cloud technologies, and I’m eager to deepen my understanding and contribute meaningfully to the cloud-native ecosystem.

CNCF’s mission to advance cloud-native computing strongly aligns with my interests, and I’d love to get involved with open-source projects in this space. I would really appreciate some guidance on how I can get started:

• Are there beginner-friendly projects or tasks I can explore?
• Are there areas that are currently looking for contributors?
• Any recommended resource to better understand CNCF workflows and projects?

I’m excited to learn, grow, and contribute alongside this incredible community. Looking forward to your guidance!
