Hi NuttX Community and Mentors, My name is Swatantra, and I am interested in contributing to Apache NuttX and getting involved early to prepare for GSoC 2027.
I am an engineering student with a strong interest in operating systems, POSIX standards, and networking protocols. I have active open-source experience in systems programming and distributed systems through contributions to CNCF KEDA (Kubernetes Event-driven Autoscaling), working on cross-platform test suites, error classifications, and protocol handlers. While reviewing the NuttX roadmap and GSoC project ideas, I am particularly drawn to the networking and security projects: 1. Wireguard Port to NuttX 2. Dropbear SSH Server/Client Port Both areas align with my interest in network protocols and secure communication on resource-constrained embedded systems. I am currently setting up the NuttX simulator development environment (`sim:nsh`). Could the mentors offer any guidance on: - Recommended first steps or good starter issues to get familiar with the NuttX network stack and nuttx-apps structure? - Any existing work or documentation already done around Wireguard or Dropbear in NuttX? Thank you for your time, and I look forward to contributing to the project! Best regards, Swatantra GitHub: https://github.com/Swatantra-66
