About this Project

This project is part of the 2020 GNOME Community Engagement Challenge and meant for use by the Init.oss 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.

Init.oss

Init.oss introduces people to contributing to FOSS. This project is designed for users of a range of skill levels, from beginner to advanced. For beginners, there are programming tutorials, and for more advanced users, suggestions of issues to resolve. The project consists of the following stages:

1. Teach the basics of a range of languages, such as HTML and Python
2. Teach the basics of contributing to open source, such as how to use Git and GitHub
3. Practice skills on projects I create that need something adding
4. Practice skills on closed GitHub issues, with solutions and hints available.
5. Get directed towards real issues that it is likely that they will have the skill to solve
