Hi Desire, I'm the co-mentor for the "Extend automated validation of API" project. Good to know you have interest in the project. You can contact Sofia or me on IRC in the #openstack-cinder channel if you have any doubts/queries regarding the onboarding process. If you're not on IRC, then that would be my first recommendation to configure IRC, connect to OFTC network and join the #openstack-cinder channel, you can find Cinder team members and other outreachy applicants also there.

Hello Sofia Enriquez,

I'm Desire Barine, an Outreachy applicant. I would love to work on Extend automated validation of API reference request/response samples project. I would like to get started with the contribution. I am currently going over the instructions on contributions given. This is my first time contributing on an open source project but I'm really excited to get started. I'm proficient in python, bash and have worked on Rest api creation before. I would love to hear from you.

Desire.
