hi @aabidsofi19 👋, what will be your response to this 😄, so that I can edit it or remove the section altogether. => Himani:
Do you have any advice for individuals hopeful to become Meshery UI contributors or potentially maintainers?

Aabid:
My advice is simple: pick an area that genuinely interests you—there are plenty to choose from here. You don’t need to know everything right away. Start with small, manageable issues and use them as a learning opportunity. Over time, your understanding will deepen, and so will your impact. Consistency and curiosity go a long way.

Himani:
In other words, staying curious and consistently contributing, even in small ways at first, can build the foundation for becoming a strong Meshery UI contributor or even a maintainer over time.

Was the image appearing too large? Is that the expected behavior?

Aabid: [Aabid's response]
Exactly, Himani. It’s all about building momentum. Every small contribution—whether it’s fixing a bug, improving docs, or reviewing a PR—adds up and helps you grow into the role. What matters most is the willingness to learn, adapt, and collaborate with others in the community. That’s the real pathway to becoming a strong contributor and eventually a maintainer.

Yup, we can't put a single repo if he is a maintainer to many.
