Hello! I just want to thank you all for your contribution towards making this an open and friendly community!

jywarren commented 4 years ago

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to meet you all! My name is Jeff, he/him/his, and I'm in Rhode Island, on the US east coast. I like cooking and woodworking 🍜 🛠️ and helping newcomers get situated with our community!

I've been mentoring with Outreachy since 2017, and it's always been a wonderful experience! Several Outreachy alums are with us as regular contributors still, and a lot of awesome work has been done through Outreachy projects. We're here to help, so please ask if you have any questions! And, if you'd like a first-timers-only issue to work on, and one isn't available, we can make one for you!

We are really looking forward to this round of Outreachy! Thank you for coming!

RuthNjeri commented 4 years ago

Hi, @cesswairimu I'm trying to figure out which issue to pick up, most issues have been already assigned.. are there issues you could point me to? I'm okay if it's not a first-timer-only issue

cesswairimu commented 4 years ago

Hi @RuthNjeri , sure, let me find one for you.

cesswairimu commented 4 years ago

@RuthNjeri checkout this one https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/6685 and leave a comment there if you would be interested to work on it

Cadreia commented 4 years ago

Hi @cesswairimu , I'm an Outreachy Applicant and would like to work on an issue. Please can you create one and assign it to me? It's my first contribution.

cesswairimu commented 4 years ago

Hi @Cadreia, let me find you one

cesswairimu commented 4 years ago

@Cadreia here you go https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/8496

cesswairimu commented 4 years ago

There is this open issue if anyone else is looking for one https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/8497

Hello everyone, I am an Outreach applicant and am very excited to begin my contributions to this organization. Everyone seems to be so welcoming!

jywarren commented 4 years ago

Made a new one in https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/8501 if anyone is looking for one!

jywarren commented 4 years ago

I believe https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/3440 and https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/6598 are still available too! Please mention you're part of Outreachy when you claim them. And... if it's a pretty old issue, there is always a chance it's already complete or obsolete, so just be aware in case you get confused! Always feel free to ask if you get stuck :-) 🤝 🙌 🎉

Thanks, folks!

damiecode commented 4 years ago

Hello Everyone, My name is Damilola and I look forward to working with you.

GabriellaAmah commented 4 years ago

@jywarren seems like the all issue you put up has been taken. Please could you provide another

jywarren commented 4 years ago

Hi @GabriellaAmah I've just made #8510 for you! And #8511 and #8512 are both now open as well. Thanks, all!

jywarren commented 4 years ago

Great job @RuthNjeri for creating your own issue and welcoming/supporting someone else! https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/pull/8502

Folks who've completed their first contribution are welcome to try this out :-)

We also have some "candidates" that may make for good first-timers-only issues -- see https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/labels/fto-candidate -- and we often mark those with this following text so that they could be used to welcome someone new!

This has been marked as a good candidate for becoming a first-timers-only issue like these, meaning that it's simple, self-contained, and with some extra formatting, could be a great entry point for a new contributor. If you're familiar enough with this code, please consider reformatting or reposting it as a first-timers-only issue, and then ping @publiclab/reviewers to get it labelled. Or, if this is not your first time, try to solve it yourself!

sagarpreet-chadha commented 4 years ago

Hi everyone! Very happy to meet you all! My name is Sagarpreet, he/him/his, and I am from Bangalore, India. I like travelling, playing football and coding :)

Emmahchinonso commented 4 years ago

hi, i'm chinonso an outreachy applicant from nigeria, please how do i go about setting up my local environment..

Cadreia commented 4 years ago

Hello, @Emmahchinonso the information you'll need for that is found in the repository's README file. You can find it at https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/main/README.md

tawahpeggy commented 4 years ago

Hi All, My name is Tawah Peggy Che. I recently completed the coursework for a BEng in Computer Software Engineering and will like to get in to open source not just to boost my career and gain experience but also to contribute to free and open-source projects. since my initial application for outreachy was approved I looked through current Outreachy projects and the Public Lab Project #2 ( New Dashboard Implementation Project: Bootstrap 4 and Rails) from this organization really seemed interesting to me and I would like to contribute to it so I can add value to this great initiative in my own little way. I am new to opensource and I look forward to learning from you all.

jywarren commented 4 years ago

Hello folks who've just joined! I've made a new first-timers-only issue -- please claim it by leaving a comment at https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/8531

@Emmahchinonso - the easiest way to begin is to try using GitPod, which has a preset standard environment. It's a web-based system but very good - i use it myself quite a bit to work on this project. You can find a link near the top of the README, as @Cadreia linked to!

https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/main/README.md

jywarren commented 4 years ago

Folks who've completed a first-timers-only issue - if you're interested, there may be some interesting tasks related to creating our new blog template -- you can read more at the very bottom of https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/5352#issuecomment-706647406! We'd love help, and if you're looking for a new challenge, that's a great spot to start!

Emmahchinonso commented 4 years ago

@jywarren i have gotten gitpod running, please what next

shubhangikori commented 4 years ago

Hello everyone, I'm Chiamaka and I'm an Outreachy applicant. I'd love to be part of the Public Lab project and I'm looking forward to making contributions.

jywarren commented 4 years ago

Hi all recent newcomers! Would someone be interested in creating a first-timers-only issue from this fto-candidate issue? I've marked the lines that need to change and everything -- maybe someone who's recently completed a first-timers-only issue?

https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/8490

jywarren commented 4 years ago

@Emmahchinonso that's great you've gotten GitPod running! Now you can try completing a first-timers-only issue -- we are creating them as fast as we can, but they're listed at https://code.publiclab.org !

Cadreia commented 4 years ago

@jywarren Sure! I'd love to. Just so I'm clear, am I creating an entirely new issue from #8490?

jywarren commented 4 years ago

Hi - yes, you can make a new one, copying in the essential info and creating the welcoming step-by-step format, and then I'm happy to label it and close the old issue! Thank you!
