Guide: Good first issue #26

Open Sealjay opened 2 years ago

Sealjay commented 2 years ago

Goal

Create a TODO Guide to improve content, submitted by @byjrack - topic: Good first issue

"Good First Issue" and more focused project engagement for the enterprise/end user communities With the significant increase in "end user" communities by organizations there is a base recognition that FLOSS is important and they need to be involved Many first issues are focused on the individual developer, but organizational motivations and barriers are likely different

  • Entering into contacts (DCO, CLA, etc) can be a challenge
  • Organizational contribution policy may not exist and the project can help direct key org decision makers to communities like TODO to establish one
  • Organizations may not use a FLOSS project directly, but through the lens of a commercial service or distribution so value of contribution may be blocked
  • Contribution opportunity may be unclear and undervalued within the organization leading to a lack of incentive structure (and potentially significant risk)

I think we can learn a bunch from the DNI efforts in the ecosystem and while the causes are significantly different I see much of the same results (apathy, frustration, etc) Goal would be to provide handles for "what's next" after that corporate investment to support broader engagement by that organization
