After you solve the first issue you can browse through our "help-wanted" issues. Feel free to tag @publiclab/mentors if you need more context for you to solve an issue.

I've been mentoring with Outreachy from a long time now, and I always learn new exciting things each time from the interns! Very excited for this round of Outreachy! The projects this time are also challenging yet fun to solve 😄 🚀 Thank you all for coming! 💯

I love the sound of that. 🤣🤣

@cesswairimu I can't find any first time issue. Can you create one for me?

asadkhalid305 commented 4 years ago

Hello everyone!

My name is Asad and I am a professional JavaScript developer.

It's good to see so welcoming environment here especially for people who are interested to start contributing in open source. Though, I am one of those who really want to contribute so thus I am looking forward for issues to start working on.

Kindly tag me on some issues I can start working on since I found all existing ones reserved already.

Looking forward to learn and contribute with all of you amazing people!

Hello Everyone I feel honored by the welcome wishes from the mentors and community at Public Lab. I am Ijay an Outreachy applicant would love @cesswairimu & @jywarren to kindly tag me to any available first timer issues to work on.

cesswairimu commented 4 years ago

@IjayAbby here you go https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/8615

cesswairimu commented 4 years ago

Hello everyone :wave: , its great to have you all here and hope everything is going on well. If you still haven't got a first-timer issue to work on please let us know and we will try to find you one. The application deadline is 2 weeks away, this would be a good time to start drafting a proposal to give mentors a chance to give feedback and improve your proposal before you post the final draft on the Outreachy website. Thanks all

Sagarpreet commented 4 years ago

Agreed with @cesswairimu , it is good time to start writing your draft proposals and share with us sooner to get better reviews and then you will have plenty of time to incorporate the changes if any in your proposals 😄

@saitgulmez you can checkout this one https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/8652

saitgulmez commented 4 years ago

Hi, I'll definitely check it. At first, i tried to compile github sources codes on Ubuntu 18.04 but i got some problems with gem,ruby and so on. Now i'll do build source codes on windows 10 (Even i'm using Ubuntu more than 10 years and get used to it). Thank you.

cesswairimu commented 4 years ago

Hi @saitgulmez, its much easier to develop with Linux. If you would like to give Ubuntu installations another try we could help, there is a thread here that has almost all the issues encountered when installing and their solutions if you have a new error you can post it there or on the chat. If you are doing first-time installation this works great. Either way, whichever OS works for you is okay. Thanks

We should be able to find something for you. @jywarren @cesswairimu any new timer issues up for grabs?

RuthNjeri commented 3 years ago

There's a first timer issue available if anyone is looking for one.. https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/8690

jywarren commented 3 years ago

Hi all! Just a reminder!

Please be sure to file your proposal on the Outreachy website as well as on our PublicLab.org page. You can use a lot of the same text. See Outreachy's text below!

====

In order to be eligible to be selected as an Outreachy intern, each applicant must:

  1. Fill out an initial application at https://www.outreachy.org/eligibility/
  2. Record a contribution to your project on the Outreachy site.
  3. Complete a final application for your project.

The deadline for final applications is Oct. 31, 2020 at 4pm UTC. Applicants will not be able to create a final application after the deadline. Applicants can edit their final application until the deadline.

Applicants who submit a final application will be able to continue recording and editing their contributions to your project. They can record contributions until the intern announcement on Nov. 23, 2020 at 4pm UTC. Applicants who have not submitted a final application will not be able to record or edit their contributions.

It's very important that you encourage the applicant(s) you want to accept for your project to complete their final application before the final application deadline. If you do not see the applicant you want to select on this list, contact them ASAP and tell them to record a contribution and submit a final application at this URL (which only works for eligible applicants, not mentors):
