@kimmccaskill-oddball Welcome! I've sent out all invites for access to your VA email, however, I was not able to find you in Slack so please join the main mobile channel when you can. Since your Github team already has access to the repo, @Eallan919 will have to add you to mobile-feauture-support before you can push code into the repo.

In the meantime please read through the documentation linked in this issue and check it off as you work your way through it (I see you've already started).

Once you're ready to get going (no rush), we've curated a list of Good First Issues to help you get familiar with the app, PR processes, and the general build systems - some good lightweight tasks for onboarding. Feel free to grab a couple and just assign them to yourself.

@kimmccaskill-oddball looks like you're good, so I'm going to close this out. Feel free to reach out in Slack with any questions!
