[JdeRobot] GSoC'25 Project #2: Robotics Academy CI & Testing Inquiry

[Abdallah Ibrahim]

Dear Pedro,

Thanks for your feedback.

I wanted to let you know that I have submitted my draft proposal in the
GSOC portal. I appreciate your guidance and look forward to your detailed
feedback.
Any additional suggestions on the deliverables or specific focus areas
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,
