Great article, but how did you become involved with Solidus to begin with - how did get to the point of making that first PR? Were you using Solidus on a project?

Your advice is great but the point for many people is which OSS project they should pick to work on, if there isn't something obvious that naturally presents itself (best choice is of course to contribute to a project that you're using and benefiting from).

In this case, my employer is building a product on top of Solidus.

However, my employer didn't actually ask me to work on the project, I was just looking for an OSS project to work on and that one made sense!

Right! Yes that was a perfect opportunity then, and as always in life, one thing leads to the other. Thanks for the great story and the great advice!
