Hello Everyone!

I am Abiola Ajadi from Lagos, Nigeria. I have my B.sc in computer science from the University of Ilorin where I was involved in various community building and also a student leader. In my free time, I love watching anime, reading comics also surfing the net. I enjoy learning about different cultures and will love to travel the world soon! Concerning pets, I love dogs(they are so cute!!)

My core values

I will use the 3Cs to describe my core values, which stands for Curiosity, Compassion and Community.

Curiosity: Being curious builds the thirst and interest for knowlegde and how things work. I believe being curious helps us as individuals be vigilant and gain knowledge. Compassion: This is one of my core values because i love to support people the way i can, especially in technology which is why community will be the third C. the role of community is very important i enjoy being with people who share the same goals and mindset with me.

Why I applied to Outreachy.

I have been curious about open source and how to get started. I wasn’t sure of the right way to start so i made some research and spoke to a friend who introduced me to outreachy as a good place to start. I submitted my initial application and made it to the contribution stage. It was exciting to see my first merged contribution to open source. I look forward to an exciting internship with the Debian community and Outreachy!
