Cool, please keep all the mentors in CC for any questions or follow-up.

I just marked some issues with the "good first issue label"
https://github.com/coconut-svsm/svsm/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22good%20first%20issue%22

But overall I'd suggest to start with building SVSM and running it
(presumably with native mode if you don't have SNP hardware).
Our CI contains a pipeline where SVSM is tested with QEMU and native
mode, so that could be useful to follow.

We have a matrix channel here: https://matrix.to/#/#coconut-svsm:matrix.org
