Hello everyone, sid here, am a pre final year cse student and i generally like to dive into low level software involving c, cpp or even asm on the off chance i understand it
I just happened to find precice on the orgs list and was always tempted to get involved with a hpc or scientific computing org just to try my hand and see how i fare and just learn from much more experienced devs and maintainers.
Not sure what else i need to add but i have had a pr merged and 2 are currently open, and i hope to do more (particular add MRs that resolve existing issues) and gradually understand the end-to-end logical flow of the project before i can start pitching ideas for the proposal
Looking forward to working with u guys 🙂
@Makis if i need to add anything else do let me know

Hi, just wanted to update on this, I have submitted my proposal for “Clean multi-step configuration” and I added something extra that I felt could potentially be added would love to hear your feedback on it regardless of my selection @fsimonis @Makis @uekerman (not sure if I can talk about it here now)
I would like to thank @fsimonis for taking the time to review my work, despite being really busy you were ready to help and providing the guidance to approaching a patch or code review. It may not have seemed like much at first glance but getting to know how seasoned devs or maintainers approach a problem really helps me analyze my shortcomings, and gives me a chance to reflect and do better.
