Some time ago my friend and I got a idea of a project, that connects junior developers, mentors, and people who may have an idea of an awesome non-profit project, but don't have any resources to implement it.</p> <p>Following the best traditions of "startup from engineers" we immediately started to write the code, without any market research. At the moment we have a kind of prototype, that is available in opensource. And finally I decided to ask people, what do they think about the concept of our project?</p> <p>What do we offer people:</p> <p>For junior developers, we offer code reviews, an experience of team collaboration and work on real-world projects.</p> <p>For mentors we offer an experience in mentoring, leading the team and product, ability to grow and hire the best performing teammates for your company.</p> <p>For anyone with an idea of a valuable project we offer development teams staffed with junior developers and mentors, that can implement your idea for free.</p> <p>The only limitation is that all projects should be open-sourced, until the author gets some money and is ready to give some donation to the platform. Those donations will cover our project's full-time team members salaries and will be also spread between mentors, as an additional encourage.</p> <p>I'm really interested what do you think about such idea? Would you like to join this project in any role?</p> discuss beginners opensource career
