About this Project

This project is part of the 2020 GNOME Community Engagement Challenge and meant for use by the FOSS – Campus team, Challenge organizers, and Challenge judges.

The 2020 GNOME Community Engagement Challenge is a three-part challenge created in partnership with Endless. The Challenge encourages individuals or teams to create stimulating ideas that will connect the next generation of coders to the FOSS community and keep them involved for years to come.

FOSS – Campus

FOSS Campus aims to build a platform to guide students step-by-step on how to get started with Open Source, in a fun and engaging manner. Firstly, students will be asked to choose their topics of interest, like UI, Technical Writing, Python, C++, etc. and then they will be assigned some beginner-friendly tasks in their chosen area, which aim at introducing Open Source organizations and their codebase to the students. Credits will be rewarded on completion of each task, which can later be used to redeem the organization’s swags. Bots are integrated to solve the basic queries, and mentors will also be available on chat. A community forum will be built for any other questions students might have.
