Dear esteemed members of the jtreg-dev mailing list,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Tham To, and I'm excited to introduce myself as a new contributor to the OpenJDK community. I am reaching out to seek your valuable guidance and assistance as I embark on this enriching journey.

As a newcomer, I am enthusiastic about learning from the experienced developers and contributing to the OpenJDK project. I am particularly interested in making a positive impact by addressing and resolving bugs that align with my skills and interests. I believe that diving into practical challenges will provide me with invaluable learning opportunities and enable me to contribute effectively to the community.

I am writing to kindly request your guidance in identifying a suitable bug that is well-suited for someone at my level of experience. While I am eager to contribute, I understand that starting with a bug that matches my familiarity with the project would be the most productive approach. Your insights will help me gain a clearer understanding of the OpenJDK bug landscape and direct my efforts in the right direction.

Moreover, I am open to mentorship and collaboration with seasoned developers who can provide guidance and feedback as I work on my chosen bug. I truly believe that the collective knowledge and support of the OpenJDK community will play a pivotal role in shaping my journey as a contributor.

I want to express my gratitude for considering my request. Your mentorship will not only facilitate my growth but also contribute to the success of the OpenJDK project. I am looking forward to engaging with the community and making meaningful contributions.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

Tham To (Ms.)
