Dear DPDK team,
My name is Raul and I recently discovered the DPDK project and I am very interested in contributing and becoming more involved. Can you please provide some guidance on how to get started with my first contribution? I am particularly interested in tackling bugs that are suitable for beginners.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely, Raul
PS: I do not know where to post this, let me know if this mailing list is not the suitable method.

The bugzilla exists here https://bugs.dpdk.org/ bu not that useful.
Most of the bugs are specific to hardware types.
One bug that could be worked on, is the existing applications and examples
often incorrectly handle shutdown from a signal. It is not safe to call the
close and cleanup functions directly in a signal handler; the proper way to
do it is to only set a flag in the signal handler, then do cleanup in
the main thread when the main loop exits.
