Hi everyone! I’m Prince, a first-year engineering student interested in contributing to OpenELIS Global and preparing for GSoC 2027. My current focus is **Java and JavaScript/React** , and I’m particularly interested in contributing to the **Java/Spring backend and web frontend**. I’m currently getting familiar with the OpenELIS Global codebase and looking for beginner-friendly issues where I can start contributing. I’d also like to join the OpenELIS Slack community to communicate with contributors and get guidance as I start contributing. Could someone please help me with an invitation to the Slack channel? Thank you!
