How can I join community coding projects?

a year ago by 3rr4tt1c to c/cs_career_questions

I'm trying to join some... not entirely sure what they're called. Like those projects where a group of people all work on a single community project. I hear discord is a good place for stuff like that. And beginner hackathons too. Any advice would be super helpful. Edit: Open Source Projects is what I meant 😅

Just found this guide to open source contributions that looks pretty good: https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute/

Section 4 is on finding projects to contribute to.

You can check goodfirstissue for anything that might pique your interest. That's where I started, and it helped a lot to get used to issue tracking systems.

Thanks, it's mentioned in the link that u/Sten gave me as well.

Best way is to use open source software yourself, and then when you encounter a bug, fix it. Looking for open source alternatives to stuff you currently use is easy.

I heard of a place called Coding Simpletons they have a group on arcane chat. They seem to have a foss philosophy you might want to check that out. Most open source groups stay on open source platforms Discord is a cool interface for chat but riddled with spyware & proprietary.
