I'll ask for help if I get stuck :D <br>I'll use simple fonts next time.<br><br>Thanks for your valuable suggestions. <br><br>Regards,<br>Prateek<br><br></div><br><div style="border-top: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); height: 0px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 0px;" class="zmail_extra_hr"><br></div><div style="" data-zbluepencil-ignore="true" class="zmail_extra"><br><div id="Zm-_Id_-Sgn1">---- On Sun, 10 Jan 2021 20:38:46 +0530 <b>Gedare Bloom <gedare@rtems.org></b> wrote ----<br></div><br><blockquote style="margin: 0px;"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hello Prateek,<div><br></div><div>Welcome. Although blogs are nice for guidance and to get the sense of someone's experience, they can often become dated quite quickly. We try to keep our documentation up-to-date and nicely polished, and encourage you to try to follow along through that [1].<br></div><div>If you get stuck on a step or something is not clear, we also would like to know here so we can try to help you and work together to fix the documentation.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The best way to get started is to just get started :) And look for some project or area that interests you. Our Open Projects page has some ideas, but you definitely should inquire here about what might be relevant or if there are any other small ideas available. Developers often have small maintenance tasks that they might be willing to help you to accomplish.<br></div><div><br></div><div>A note on style, I would recommend not using the italicized font/html of your email program. We prefer not to have html email in general on this list, and also the italics makes it harder to read your email quickly. <br></div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/start/index.html" target="_blank">https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/start/index.html</a><br></div></div><div><br></div>Gedare<div><br><div class="x_1327571795gmail_quote"><div class="x_1327571795gmail_attr" dir="ltr">On Fri, Jan 8, 2021 at 11:56 PM Prateek Pardeshi <<a href="mailto:prateekp99@zoho.com" target="_blank">prateekp99@zoho.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.8ex;border-left: 1.0px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left: 1.0ex;" class="x_1327571795gmail_quote"><u></u><div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 10.0pt;"><pre style="font-variant: normal;letter-spacing: normal;font-weight: normal;"><span class="colour" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"><i>Hello everyone,</i></span>
