Follow the instructions in this readme if you want to take part in larger open source projects.
I'm forming a team of software development engineers who want to work on larger open source projects and contribute to them in meaningful ways while at the same time, getting expert guidance and mentorship from seasoned industry professionals with over 10-25+ years of professional experience.
This will allow the more junior members (people with less than 10-25+ years of professional experience) to learn from the people who have it, While actively contributing to open source projects Designed to have an impact not just on the world, but to be meaningful for the resumes of the people who work on them.
No matter what you want to do, you're going to have to open a ticket:
https://github.com/CoderForGood/the-registry-of-intent/issues/new/choose
Submit a issue and follow the 'interested' template.
Submit an issue and follow the 'leaving' template If you want to explicitly leave projects. It's okay. We understand that not everybody has time for open source, but letting us know instead of simply ghosting is the professional and right thing to do.
We want to make registration of intent as simple and easy as possible and provide automation to make that simpler. As a result, issue templates are provided to make things easier on everybody. Please, fill them out fully if you can.
But we also want to make sure there's quality control, because we're fully aware that trolls will try to do bad things. As a result, not everybody that requests to be added to the team will be added.
We expect you to act professional on the team. This is something that we hope will be good for people's resumes, So we're running it with that in mind.
The goal of any good engineer is to solve problems. New projects will be created as needed to solve explicit core problems. When a minimal viable product that does that is working and checked in and available.
If a well maintained or long-standing open source software project is in critical need of a specific skill set or engineering support, they can make the request using the proper template.
This is a living document that will update and change based on the process that currently exists. As it changes, so will this document.
