Thanks, it looks like your git config user.name may not be correct, please double check that your name is not “eric-14” but is “Eric Mwangi”. Then you can add yourself to tracking/2026 · main · RTEMS / Programs / Google Summer of Code · GitLab and search here for topics related to your project interests. You can also start a new topic if there is an open project that interests you but no current topics about it.

If you’re not currently a student, make sure your proposal clearly identifies why you are a beginner in open-source.

Hello, my username is Eric Mwangi and I have changed it. The key generated by my two factor authentication system keeps invalid two factor code. Could you reset my account to allow me to register again ?

If you didn’t get this resolved, please reach out in Discord in the gitlab-support channel.
