This project is part of the 2020 GNOME Community Engagement Challenge and meant for use by Open Source Made Easy – OSME 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.

Open Source Made Easy – OSME

OSME is a GNOME desktop application and will be a one-stop guide for all the beginning coders in the FOSS community. Key features of this application include:

  • Login feature based on Github authentication.
  • Home screen with all the necessary resources to get users started with open source.
  • Collection of curated top repositories based on languages (C/C++/Java/Javascript/Typescript etc).
  • Collection of curated top repositories based on different topics (Operating System/ Networking/ Machine - Learning/ Cloud/ iOS/ Android/Web etc).
  • Women-specific opportunities and best resources.
  • List of top new contributors signed up on the application, every month. This application will be built using the process of GNOME applications with open source tools. In addition to that, this application will be open sourced for anyone to use, edit and contribute.
