I'm Ahmed Elwasefi, a computer engineering student from the German University in Cairo. This year, I was contributing to Chromium as part of Google Summer of Code 2023.
I approached my participation in GSoC differently from the usual process. When I initially decided to contribute to Chromium, I looked through the good-first-bug in Chromium Issue Tracker to find issues to address in order to familiarize myself with the codebase. While browsing through Chromium's issue tracker, I happened to select accessibility-related problems by chance.
One of these issues was created by Aaron Leventhal, so I reached out to him to gather more details about the problem and to seek his guidance in resolving it. To cut a long story short, I was impressed by Aaron's exceptional willingness to assist and share his knowledge. At that point, I thought, "Hey Aaron, would you be interested in some collaboration during the summer?" J
