## Do you want to help build Velero?

If you’re a newcomer, check out the “[Good first issue](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Good+first+issue%22)” and “[Help wanted](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Help+wanted%22+)” labels in the Velero repository.
