Looking for a meshmate for guidance/ findind first issue

Hi everyone!
I’m Abhay Mishra, a second-year B.Tech student. I’ve been learning and working with MERN stack, TypeScript, and I’m also comfortable with Next.js , Docker and open-source collaboration. I’m really excited to contribute to Meshery and the broader Layer5 ecosystem.

Right now, I’m trying to set up the Meshery project locally and would greatly appreciate some help. I’m looking for a MeshMate who can guide me through the setup process and help me understand the architecture so I can start contributing meaningfully.

If anyone is available or can point me to someone who can mentor me a bit, it would mean a lot

Hey Abhay! :waving_hand: Welcome to the Layer :layer5: community — great to have you here! :rocket::tada::glowing_star:

It’s awesome to hear that you’re diving into the MERN stack, TypeScript, and tools like Next.js and Docker — that skillset will definitely serve you well while contributing to Meshery and other Layer5 projects.

I’d be more than happy to help you get started with the Meshery setup and walk you through the architecture. Let’s get you up and running smoothly so you can begin making meaningful contributions.

To kick things off, we have a dedicated newcomers call every Thursday with the training session https://layer5.io/community/calendar. feel free to DM me or drop your current setup status here. If you’ve run into any specific issues (like errors during setup or unclear steps), just share the details and we’ll tackle them together. :magnifying_glass_tilted_left::speech_balloon:

Looking forward to collaborating with you! Let’s build something amazing. :raising_hands::fire::sparkles:
