Thanks for the kind words Ananya.

If you're looking to get into open source, I'd suggest the following:

• @jess' post Open Source Resources for Beginners
• You can create your own project and open source it, but I found it easier to find a project that you'd be interested in contributing to:
  • Follow @YourFirstPR on Twitter to find a great first issue.
  • You can use the GitHub explore page
  • search GitHub for projects by language.
  • Follow

    #githunt

    Interesting open source repos you've discovered and want to share with the community.
    Maybe something there will peak your interest.
  • @ben posts monthly about people looking for open source contributors, e.g. Who's looking for open source contributors? (Dec 17th edition). I wonder if we could add the #callforcontrib on all those posts or some unique tag to make these posts easier to find Ben?
  • Consider contributing to the dev.to repo. Lots going on in there and the core team, myself as well as many community members would be willing to give you a hand getting started.

• Don't worry if you're first PR isn't perfect. Mine wasn't and I unnecessarily stressed over it. 🙃

Thanks Manuel. All the best to you in 2019!
