The admins advertised the steps here:

https://wiki.debian.org/Outreachy/Round13#What_to_do

For making a small contribution to the clean room project, please

a) try to build it with the script in the repository

b) tell me how you would add some menus at startup for choosing keyboard
layout and language, just like the Debian installer.  The answer doesn't
have to be complete, but if you can provide code that would be great.
If you can simply provide links to relevant resources you would use to
solve the problem it is also helpful.
