Hello there,

I’m Ahmed Kashkoush, a pre-final year CS undergrad. While I’ve successfully completed several closed work projects, I’m relatively new to open-source contribution.

After exploring _Rocketchat_’s features, I’ve set my sights on contributing to _Rocketchat_ in GSoC’25.

I possess strong technical skills in OOP, Data Structures, Algorithms, Operating Systems, as well as web development skills like HTML/CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Node.js.

I believe these skills will be valuable in this endeavor. Currently, I’m diligently familiarizing myself with the project by going through the documentation and contribution guidelines.

I would greatly appreciate any advice from past contributors, mentors, and organization members. Insights from your experiences would undoubtedly help me contribute effectively to _Rocketchat_. Looking forward to your guidance.

Best regards,  
Ahmed Kashkoush

Yes.

Suggest you go to open.rocket.chat and look for GSOC 2024

Also suggest you read ALL the docs and get a local instance running.

Then read, and read, and read. Understand the code, and understand the company.
