Fullstack Open Source ⚡

Contribute to the open source community (https://opensource.org/osd-annotated)!

Join us for Open Source Pair Programming. Get ready to roll up your sleeves and get to the code. Everyone is encouraged to improve open source projects and submit pull requests (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_version_control#Pull_requests). If you're a seasoned open source committer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committer)/maintainer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_maintainer), we love you, come show us how it's done (we are a truly captive audience). If you have never pushed code to an open source project, you have come to the right place. We are here to help you find projects, identify issues, and understand the process of pull down, building, and pushing up new code.

All the coding is done in pairs, so you're never without someone to code with. Pair programing (http://www.wikihow.com/Pair-Program) with new people is a great way to make new friends. Friends are welcome, but be ready to pair with new ones.

While everyone is welcome, it is recommended that you have done some coding in the past. With coding, the first few steps can be the hardest. We are happy to assist everyone at all levels. The focus of this group is on open source contributions and getting folks past the first, tenth and hundredth pull request.
