  • From Contributor to Maintainer: My Journey in Open Source
    3 projects | dev.to | 21 May 2024
    My journey in open source started with Hacktoberfest 2019. I heard about this event from X (previously Twitter) and decided to participate. Back then, resources to learn how to contribute to open source were less plentiful than today. So, I had no other option than to learn by reading the projects' README and contributing guidelines on GitHub.

    In that course, we learned about the basics of open source, like how to make good PRs and contribute to random open-source projects, and how to use Git effectively in the process. We participated in events like Hacktoberfest that helped us embrace the spirit of open source.
  • Finding an open source project and contributing to it
    1 project | dev.to | 18 Mar 2024
    If you do not have any opensource project in mind and are genuinely interested in contributing to open source, I have a tip to share. You can start by thinking about what you love doing. Could be coding, design, writing. Then you look around you; what are those tools or technologies you enjoy using or frequent day to day? Could be Firefox, Wikipedia, Git, VS Code, etc. Find out if they are open source and have a public repository. Another way to find open source projects is to participate in programs like Hacktoberfest, Outreachy, Google Summer of Code, etc. Even if you are not actively participating, you could visit their pages and check out past projects and organizations that were involved and get started.
