FOSSDorm

# About this Project This project is part of the 2020 GNOME Community Engagement Challenge and meant for use by the FOSSDorm 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. Learn more about the Challenge.

FOSSDorm

FOSSDorm aims to bring, engage, and retain new contributors to the open source community. It helps newcomers find open source projects based on their skill preference, then learn how to contribute to the selected project, and engage them for the long term.

To achieve the same target, the app fulfills three basic needs:

Where to find my skill-based suitable project: GitHub is a large ocean where new contributors find hard to search for project meeting their demands. Hence, this app has a section listing all verified and approved open source project.
How to contribute: Even after finding a project, contributors sometimes fail to engage with the community. Documentation for beginners is one of the main reasons. Hence, each project in this app will contain a must-have page providing a minimum of three details in both text and video format. That is, about the project, how to set up a project and get started, and how to stay in touch with the community.
How to engage contributors forever: Contributors need to manually paste their merged code link into the app to get a reputation point or badges. This will encourage and also build their profile displaying the amount of open source contribution.

How to Use this Project

Members of the FOSSDorm team should use this GitLab project to enter their Phase 2 submissions. For this phase, we ask you to submit a proof of concept for your project. Your proof of concept can be a working prototype, project examples, and/or documentation demonstrating your concept.

All code-based projects should store their code and assets in the repository of this project.
All non-code projects should upload all relevant materials as PDF or jpeg files to the project repository.

All Phase 2 submissions must be added to this folder by Nov 2, 2020, at or before 23:59 UTC.

Please contact cechallenge@gnome.org prior to the deadline if you have any questions or issues.
