Open Source gurus need some advice Discuss thread

1 points by meihk 10y ago

Hey guys. What do you guys think about open source projects. Do you contribute to some? Why? And if not why not? I thought about coding a open source platform for open source projects. It should introduce "noobs", who can code already into the beautiful world of open source projects. Do you guys participate at opensource projects?

Brilliant strategy, starting your message by insulting those whom you want advice from.

Hey buddy. I guess it is a nice start to help people to get more into open source. At the moment there is a really high barrier to get into those open source projects, thats why i am to lazy to inform myself. Tell me about your idea and how do you kill that barrier

  I want to build up a community of open source projects. Lots of companys provide open source project with a mentoring program. That means if you contribute to a project you get connected to a mentor, who knows about the project and can help you instantly. Besides that you always know exactly what you have to do. Every Project should have well defined goals for the contributor. It is a win win situation for both partys. The mentors get code done for free and the beginners get job experience.
