Hi @kaliswalker
I’m new to the challenge and I’m unsure if there’s anything else I need to do. I have done an introduction post, but I have seen posts that talk about choosing a team/getting an invite. If you could let me know if there’s anything else I need to do, to get started, that would be great.
