Advent of Open Source 2024
Advent of Open Source 2024
Traveller, join the Winter Open Source Village to celebrate the season of sharing. Choose amongst the three runes to embark on your journey.
Advent of Open Source is a community-driven event that aims to introduce newcomers to Open Source Software development, and to help all participants to create or enhance their repositories.
It isn't clear what exactly is the event about - is it about teaching newcomers how to get into contributing to the FOSS projects, or about kickstarting your own FOSS projects? The vague info seems to mostly talk about "your project", so it seems to be the latter?
I'm more interrested in the contributing side of things, but that doesn't seem to be mentioned in the info. Anyone has more information in this regard? I really like the idea, but if I don't have my own project in mind and don't want to start anything and just contribute, would it be for me?
I would be curious what the daily exercises are going to be. Is it just a 24 part tutorial on the etiquette around creating and contributing to open source projects?
