I really wanna get into open source as soon as I can I lack experience since I'm learning how to code, but I can't wait to contribute to as much as I can in the future when I learn a little more :>
Hey MoguMilk! That's absolutely brilliant to hear and I can tell you Open Source can't wait for you to join the party! We are creating an open source community on Discord so join if you want - all levels of programming are welcome: discord.com/invite/ChAuP3SC5H 😇🫶
Ohhh okay I'll definitely join thanks for an invite
It's also nice to feel part of a community, especially if you're an early adopter. You can become an expert in a niche and useful project, you can find yourself talking with the core developers, making contributions yourself, working together with a talented team, and discussing ideas for improvements.
Excellent point! 🫶
A good read on OSS.
The Readme file in your project could use some TLC by the looks of it.
Hey Hendrik! Good to hear you enjoyed the read 🫶 Hahaha yes that is very fair...🤣🥲 Maybe I could make a piece of content on best practices for TLC and show that repo as what not to do 😂. Thanks for the engagement partner. Let me know if there is any topics you would like me to write about in order to bring you value!
Ah, but I see someone beat us to it here. Anyway. No worries, my github projects usually have the readme from some starter project that I never bothered to personalise.
Ah nice! Amazing article thanks for that! Haha same but shhh 🤫 no one should know 😌
Did you mention it is free? I would think that is very important.
I think he's referring to the fact that the code is freely available for anyone to access, use and modify.
Yes for sure. If a company goes under, their product may be dead. But with FOSS, you can still build on it.
Yes the aspect that is free is mentionned in fact as one of the key words to remember! I really like the idea you provide though that if company goes under, you can still use the code. I think I will use that example to really hammer the point home 🔨🚀
Really good article! It helps you understand OSS without being a software developer :) !
Thanks a lot for the comment Gerda - that's really great to hear! 💪😇
