Hello Git Developers! I am Atharva Raykar, a student from Bangalore, who is going to be involved more deeply with the Git community in the coming months. I am going to be focusing on converting Git's Submodule functionality from shell to C, and I greatly look forward to make improve Git :) Congratulations to ZheNing Hu for getting selected as well. I am not surprised at all -- his volume of contributions even before his selection has been great, and quite inspiring for me. I look forward to helping out in any way I can and get to know the community better. I'd also like to thank Christian, Kaartic, Ævar, Junio, Johannes and Phillip who have all helped me learn and guide me through my first few Git contributions. Thanks again for trusting me with this work. I look forward to contribute and help others contribute! -- Atharva Raykar
