Open-Source for All

  • Have you been treated unfairly when contributing to Open-Source?

  • Have your PRs been rejected/closed arbitrarily without good reasons?

  • Have you felt that your ideas are being constantly dismissed?

  • Have you followed fully contributors' lengthy guidelines but your PR still got rejected for silly reasons?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then it's time to join a new movement.

open-source-for-all, will be the new hashtag for repositories that promote inclusion and diversity.

I'll be forking every repository where it's project owners engage in discriminatory or unjust behavior and tagging it with #open-source-for-all. However, this won't be me only; you can join my army by forking those repositories and adding the hashtag.

Later, I'll be creating a site where each repository will have a score in terms of inclusion and diversity to help people assess whether or not they'd like to be part of those repositories!

Optional Steps:

  • Add a reporting mechanism of unfair behavior or give guidelines on how to post such issues as an issue with proper tags.

  • Provide an email address where contributors can reach out for help or explanations.

Let's liberate tech together!
