Want to Contribute to a Project?

A common problem that we hear from attendees is not knowing what projects or libraries that they can contribute to. Here's a running list of projects that we personally find fantastic:

Resources: Below are a few of the resources we mentioned last night:

Good First Time Repos:

  • Node.js: A very welcoming community that is beginner friendly. Look for the label good first contribution.
  • ASP.NET: Scott Hanselman does a lot of work here! Start in the docs.
  • Habitica: An RPG for good habits (very cute). Look for entry level coding.
  • Exercism.io: A code mentorship platform. Look for the label good first patch. This is great for Ruby developers as well.
  • Leaflet: A plug-in for custom maps. Look for the label easy fix.
  • Operation CODE: An open source organization that helps veterans find jobs in technology. Look for beginner friendly(Note: The link I included here is just for the front-end. They also have an excellent starter's guide here.)
  • Tensorflow: An open source machine learning platform. They don't have beginner-friendly labels, but have a strong Code of Conduct and support a variety of languages.
  • Crowdrescue SCOT A Ruby on Rails project for crowdsourcing disaster responses. Live site here.
