About us

Welcome to Open Source Friends for New Contributors. If you have ever wanted to contribute to a project but felt intimidated by the technical jargon, complex workflows, or the fear of breaking something, this is the place for you. We are a community of people learning how to navigate the world of open source together, focusing on small, approachable steps and helping one another overcome the initial hurdles of making that first commit.

Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where you can ask questions without worrying about sounding like a beginner, because we all are at some stage of the journey. Whether you want to improve documentation, fix a typo, or take on a first-time-friendly coding issue, we meet to share resources, troubleshoot problems, and encourage each other as we contribute to the software that powers the world. Come join us to share your progress and learn in good company.
