Hello!Monday, November 7th at 1:00pm ET (-4 GMT) Public Lab will be hosting an OpenHour on celebrating "new contributors to open source code." Recently, Public Lab has had a number of people who are coding for the first time making substantial contributions! New tools and ideas such as "First Timers Only" github issues have helped to bring new coders in, but we're looking to learn and share more!
- What helps to makes new code contribution easy?
- What have First Time Coders contributed to the publiclab.org codebase? - How can we engage non-coders to help on questions such as design interface?
- How else can we do outreach for contributors?
- After the first commit, then what?
Collaborators at places like SpinachCon, Google Summer of Code,
Outreachy and Hoodie have been taking on these challenges as well, and we're hoping to share some questions and ideas with everyone.
