About this Project

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

Leapcode

Leapcode is a gamified platform to help open source contributors. The project aims to solve through an online platform that rewards and motivates first-time contributors. Contributors create an account on the Leapcode platform & start with a First Time Pull Request project to make their first PR / open-source contribution in under 15 minutes. After that, each project will help them in contributing more, learning new technical skills, interacting with the community, and ultimately improving their coding skills. They earn points & badges as they fix issues or add features across different projects. Leapcode will have a streamlined process with the right resources and mentors to support for each open source project.
