Hi everyone! I am Rishikesh, a CS student focused on Java and DSA. I have got OpenELIS-Global-2 set up locally with Docker, Java 21, and Maven, and I’m currently exploring the codebase to find a good first issue to work on.
I am looking forward to contributing to the project and getting involved with the community ahead of GSoC 2027. Glad to be here!
Small update on my end: I have been cross-checking a few open “good first
issue” bugs against the latest develop branch by actually running the
tests locally (not just reading the issue) — #3994’s remaining clusters,
#4042, #3660, and #2628 all turned out to be already resolved by recent
merges. Since manually verifying each one is taking a while, would
appreciate a pointer to something that’s confirmed still open — happy to
jump in right away once I have one.
