Weeks 5–6Pick 1–2 Java/Spring projects; read code + contribution guide.

Weeks 7–8First contribution: a docs fix or small issue.

Weeks 9–10First meaningful bug-fix PR.

Weeks 11–14Respond to review feedback; a second contribution.

Weeks 15–16Document what you learned; link merged PRs from your portfolio.
