[-- Attachment #1 --] Dear FreeBSD Team, My name is Islam Imad, a computer science student at Suez Canal University (Egypt). I am very interested in operating systems. I have been learning about operating systems and low-level programming, and I want to apply my knowledge through open-source contributions. I have taken the Operating Systems course from the University of Wisconsin and studied Operating Systems: *Three Easy Pieces*. As part of this, I implemented several related projects, including a Unix shell, an interpreter, a heap memory allocator, and a MapReduce model. In addition, I actively practice competitive programming—I have solved more than 3000 problems across different online judges (candidate master on Codeforces) and participated in on-site contests such as the Arab and African Collegiate Programming Contests, which helped me strengthen my problem-solving and algorithmic thinking skills. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how I can start contributing to FreeBSD, and how best to align my skills with ongoing projects or future GSoC opportunities.
