My name is Nardos, and I am an Outreachy participant from Indiana Universit= y, Bloomington. I am a first time open source contributor hopeful.

I can be reached at nasfaw@iu.e= du or www.nardos.dev I also have a few questions: 1. I am opting to run Guix in a virtual machine on a kali linux. I have fo= und this resource: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Running-Guix-in= -a-VM.html#Running-Guix-in-a-VM. Given your experience, would this cause a = problem down the line? Any recommendation on running Guix in a virtual mach= ine vs on my PC? 2. Upon making contributions, where is it posted? and how do I see feedback= s? I have seen lists of open projects and discussion treads such as this (h= ttps://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/22138) on the Guix patch tracker. Are the= se the issues we currently working on? 3.
