[OISF/outreachy] Introducing myself

[Janani Ramjee]

Hello Shivani,
Will surely claim a new ticket and keep checking the existing PR. About
recording contribution URL, the following information has been given
A link to the publicly submitted contribution. The contribution can be work
in progress. The URL could a link to a GitHub/GitLab issue or pull request,
a link to the mailing list archives for a patch, a Gerrit pull request or
issue, a contribution change log on a wiki, a review of graphical design
work, a posted case study or user experience study, etc. If you're unsure
what URL to put here, ask your mentor.
Please do advise on which link to submit.
Regards,
Janani
