You mission in this tutorial is to make yourself part of the developers' community.
Most projects are just to large for an individual
We have to work in a team
Team must work together
To work together, you must play by _social rules...
What should I do?
Concretely, you should create a new issue whose name is: John Doe: introduction_, except that you replace the words John Doe with your name.
Example: Issue #366, that I created for introducing myself (Yossi Gil), following my own instructions in this current issue
If I am expert, should I still do it?
If you are not an expert, skip to the next section. This one is for people who know it all.
Yes, but it should be a breeze.
Show us that you are an expert by creating your * Big Expert: Introduction * with as few as possible editing operations in the issue's history. (If you look at Issue#338, you will see that I did much too many change operations)
Minimizing the number of operations is not an objective by itself. It is just that if someone is watching the issue, and currently online, he would be buzzed for every little change you make. No big deal. People know how to deal with this.
Steps
Create a new issue which duplicates this one (#330)
Assign the new issue to yourself.
Check marks the items in it, after doing it.
Close your issue, with a comment mentioning me, or another staff member:
@YossiGil: Done.
Checklist and progress bar
Your issue should include the following checklist. I will tell you below how to create it.
[x] Use a picture, photo or distinct, familiar, personal
avatar. Don't use an automatic icon (we need this to be able to identify you in the tens of students we have):
Example
Score
Why?
Bad
Vague
OK
Reasonably identifying
Huh?
Monkey?
Terrible
GitHub auto generated
If you have an issue with privacy, talk to the staff. We are usually reasonable.
[x] Present yourself by a not too rude nick
Example
Score

Moshe Levy II

Disaster
Are you a troll or what?
Summary:
- Fine: `yogi` (**Yo**ssi **G**il), `idarban` (**I**tai **D**arban)
- Not so fine: `j1046` / `r2d2` / `bb8` / `biscuit` / `the destroyer`/`nukethem69h7`
(Again, we need this to be able to identify you in personal meetings. If someone feels the bear with basket is the best representation of his identity, so be it. If someone presents herself the *Mac Apple Icon*? Not so sure.)
[x] Describe yourself in the bio page; FYI, here is my description:
[x] State that you are (not) in search for a job, i.e., mark, or unmark this box:
