GSoC 2025: Interested in Contributing to NetBSD Kernel

[SHIBE <jangamshiva2005%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hello NetBSD Kernel Team,  

I’m Shiva Shankar, an aspiring GSoC contributor, and I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute to NetBSD for GSoC 2025.  

I’m particularly interested in:  
Kernel development and low-level systems programming.  
I’ve started exploring the NetBSD source code and practicing C, Makefiles, and system-level programming.  

I would appreciate any guidance on beginner-friendly kernel issues or project suggestions.  
Could you recommend resources or issues that would help me get started?  
Are there specific mentors I can reach out to for guidance?  

Thank you for your time and support.  
I look forward to contributing to NetBSD!  

Best regards,  
Shiva Shankar
